Lovely dark eyes as bright as a star,
Dark brown fur as soft as a kitten,
A head like a tiger ready to pounce,
And a back like a lion.
Paws with claws as sharp and pads as soft as a wild cat,
And a big waggy tail,
Its straight jumping legs as strong as sofa legs,
and that will be your perfect dog forever.

The Banks Of Bonnie Doon
Yon banks and hills of bonnie Doon,
How can you bloom so fresh and fair?
And little birds, how can you chaunt
With me so weary... full o' care?
You'll break my heart, you warbling birds
That wanton thru the flow'ry thorns
You remind me of departed joys
Departed... never to return.
Oft did I rove by bonnie Doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And every bird sang of its love
As fondly once I sang of mine.
With lightsome heart I pulled a rose
Full sweet from off its thorny tree
But my first lover stole that rose
And, ah! has left its thorns with me.
How can you bloom so fresh and fair?
And little birds, how can you chaunt
With me so weary... full o' care?
You'll break my heart, you warbling birds
That wanton thru the flow'ry thorns
You remind me of departed joys
Departed... never to return.
Oft did I rove by bonnie Doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And every bird sang of its love
As fondly once I sang of mine.
With lightsome heart I pulled a rose
Full sweet from off its thorny tree
But my first lover stole that rose
And, ah! has left its thorns with me.
