(Neal Phillips and Greg Trafidlo; parody of "Orphan Girl" by Gillian Welch)
I am a beggar in God’s doorway
Call
my name and I'll come your way
I have no brother, no cousin
Adopted
— I wasn’t
I am an Arfin' Dog
I was abandoned by my mother
There were
no others in my litter
I have no father to go with me
Down to
Six Wags, chasing frisbees
I am an Arfin’ Dog
Other puppies, always cuter
At the
pound where I was neutered
No best friend, no sister
Help me Jesus, Hairy Krishna
I am an Arfin’ Dog
When my master calls me, I’ll be able
To eat scraps from the family table
Blessed Savior, pure and shaggy
Take
my leash and make me waggy
No more an Arfin’ Dog
(sung to the tune of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken")
I will learn to be housebroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There’s a leather bone a‑waitin’
In the sky Lord in the sky
