PETS HAVE FEELINGS TOO Illustration of kitten
Don't be too rough, rough, rough on your dog 
Don't be too rough, rough, rough on your dog 
Don't be too ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff

Don't ride your puppy, He is not a pony
Don't saddle or straddle him
He's lookin' kinda boney 
And don't put your Barbie clothes
On Chuckie the Chihuahua
Don't make him dance, not even the lambada 
And Tommy the Turtle doesn't need a paint job 
It cuts off the airflow
And that'll make his head throb 
You wouldn't want someone 
To slap a coat of paint on you

     Pets have feelings too
     Just like me and you
     To keep us from turning blue
     Give fresh water, fresh food
     And a pat on the head
     And a place in the bed
     Next to you

Goldie the Goldfish swimmin' round in water
Sometimes she's nappin'
That's how I bought her 
If she should belly up, it could really smelly up 
Don't try to boil it or flush it down the toilet 
Goldie deserves a proper funeral

     'Cause pets have feelings too
     From terrier to cockatoo
     To keep 'em from eating their poo
     Give your cat or your mutt
     A nice pat on the butt
     And a place to curl up
     Next to you

Your cat says please don't hurt me-ow!
Your cat says please don't hurt me-ow!
Your cat says please don't hurt me, ow! ow! ow!

Don't pull, the whiskers on little mister friskers
He fell on his vertabray
And slipped his little disc-ers
And Iggy the Iguana doesn't really wanna
Go into the oven, no, it is not a sauna
Lizards like heat, but not too much

     And we all need a home
     A safe place to bury the bone
     Some wide open spaces to roam 
     The bobcat needs 20,000 acres
     We all seek the cheese in the maze
     Go through a molting phase
     And if we get rabbies we foam
