I went down to the park just to fill up the day
I saw folks playing Frisbee and catching some rays
And I felt a bit down when it got to the dayâs end
Wishing that there could be more to my weekend
When out of the blue came a dog with his master
A perfect little terrier, white alabaster
With a glint in his eye and a confidence in his gait
Even when lifting his right leg to urinate
He seemed to say he was somehow superior
And me, I was thinking, âThis dog seems familiar,â
I stared at the hound and then thatâs when it came to me,
Bringing up memories of this doggieâs fame to me
This dog was not any regular Rover
This was the dog they made all the fuss over
Who would have thought Iâd cross paths on this Sunday in June
With the first dog to walk on the moon?
You see this dog somehow got all this attention
Even his master got less of a mention
When they opened up space travel for the civilians
His master, a playboy, has spent several millions
To go the moon and to make it all merrier
He had decided that heâd take his terrier
The talk shows and newspapers ate up the story
Youâd see this white pup on the tube in his glory
The dogâs popularity would never falter
He even got interviewed by Barbara Walters
The covered the training and all preparations
And it seemed that we all held our breath as a nation
The day of the lift off for this little pet
And later the image weâll never forget
That first step for canines in his little doggy space suit
For the first dog to walk on the moon
And when I was young I had my dreams of greatness
Of flying in rockets in space being weightless
I dreamed I could be like some star of space travel
But many years later my dreams would unravel
I guess I just wasnât a good enough student
I made some life choices that werenât so prudent
I work on the phones now in customer service
Telling my callers, âHi, Bob at your serviceâ
Iâm fielding complaints at this 800 number
What I do for money just couldnât be dumber
My company makes things like hair dye for men
I hear the same questions again and again
Things like âIs it OK to use this on my eyebrows?â
When it says on the box âNOT FOR USE ON YOUR EYEBROWSâ
And it sure doesnât seem Iâll do anything great all that soon
Like this dog who has been to the moon
And God, I donât know if youâre somewhere out there
But if you are listening, itâs truly unfair
I look at this dog and I see he has knowledge
Like nothing I learned in community college
This dog has seem worlds that I never will access
And he wonât have to struggle with failure or taxes
This is dog that has so much I lack
This is a dog who has been there and back
And God, I donât know if thereâs reincarnation
But if you can help me in this situation
Thereâs just one thing that I hope you can do for me
Maybe next time you can really come through for me
In my next life cause I know this oneâs shot
In my next life make me something Iâm not
What Iâm asking to be, as I pray to you under these stars
Is the first dog to touch down on Mars
