Fluffy, furry buddy
Chewed his leg on the porch
Why¹d you do it Fluffy
On the porch?
Good dog Fluffy
Old friend, my pal
Fluffy¹s got his buddy
On the porch
Penny, she's my girlie
She sits here with me, on the porch
Oh Penny looks so pretty
On the porch
Penny takes Fluffy for a walk out
On the path
And Fluffy chases the other doggies
On the path
The pig says to Penny
"Get Fluffy back on the porch"
So me and Fluffy and Penny
