All the Baby Puppies (A Single Ladies Parody)

Hiya friends!

It’s a snow day in Greensboro. For those of you that aren’t from around here, when we say “snow” in Greensboro, we really mean a couple hours of snow followed by several hours of sleet and hail. This is my way of defending all the North Carolinians that freak out and buy enough bread and milk to last weeks at the thought of even a couple inches of snow. Because a couple of inches of snow always means a thick crust of ice, too.

As I was lying in bed this morning (after I got back from the gym, because #MakingMoves #MyFirstCompetition) I started mushing my pups’ faces and telling them how cute they were. And then, much to Leon’s chagrin, I started singing. After a few bars of a few different songs I realized that “baby puppies” has a very similar cadence as “single ladies.” So clearly, I knew what I was doing today.

First, I suggest you refresh yourself with the song.

And here’s an instrumental version, so you can sing along with my words. (FYI, start singing at 0:01.)

Baby Puppies (Chew Our Bones)

A parody, by Kara Thomas

All the baby puppies (All the baby puppies)

All the baby puppies (All the baby puppies)

All the baby puppies (All the baby puppies)

All the baby puppies

Now lift your ears up

Up on the couch, we just went out

It’s time to chew our bones

You want us to stop, but we’re not gonna drop

Cause another toy don’t interest

I’ve got my bone, leave us alone

Not paying you any attention

Cause we want to chew, our bones are so new

 Ya can’t be mad at me

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

We’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Don’t be mad once you see the mess we left

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Bow wow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Bow wow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

We’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Don’t be mad once you see the mess we left

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

I got the taste on my lips, a bone in my grips

Wrap me up in that blanket

Cuddled up, like a cute pup

I could care less what you think

I need no permission, did I mention

Not paying you any attention

Cause you could have trained us

But now you’re gonna fuss

Why do you even try?

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

We’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Don’t be mad once you see the mess we left

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Bow wow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Bow wow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Don’t try to trick me with those treats

I’m not that kind of dog

My bone is what I prefer, what we deserve

Is a couch that makes us then takes us

And delivers us to our best bones, to infinity and beyond

Put it in my paws

Say you’ll leave us alone

If you don’t, you’ll be fuming

And on your couch we’ll be consuming

All the baby puppies (All the baby puppies)

All the baby puppies (All the baby puppies)

All the baby puppies (All the baby puppies)

All the baby puppies

Now lift your ears up

Bow wow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Bow wow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

We’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Don’t be mad once you see the mess we left

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

We’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Don’t be mad once you see the mess we left

Cause we’re gonna chew until our bones are gone

Bow wow ow

I think that this has been a snow day well spent.

Cheers, Kara
