Dot Wiggin Band Your Best Friend Lyrics

Your best friend is your cat or your dog
Your horse or your hog

Your cat may scratch or want to play
When you're not in the mood
But your cat will never turn its back on you

Your dog may bite or chase you around
But your dog will be there when you're feeling down

Your horse may nip you or try to knock you off his back
But your horse will never pretend he's something he's not
No, he'll never do that

Your hog may eat you out of house and home
But one thing's sure, you'll never be alone

When you think you've really found a friend
Prove it to yourself, test him

Some friends say they'll stick by you through thick and thin
When things are going smooth, they are always right beside you
But when things start going rough
Friends that say they'll be there never show up

Your pet won't do that
He'll be right there
You can tell your pet your every thought, your every care

Your best friend is your cat or your dog
Your horse or your hog
(Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow)
Some friends ask your advice on a matter
You tell them what you think and what you feel
But what do they do?
They turn their backs on you

If you don't give them the answer they want to hear
They say you're wrong, you're just filling their ears

Your best friend is your cat or your dog
Your horse or your hog
So when you feel lonely and blue
Don't turn to someone who won't help you
But go, go to your pet
It makes no difference what's troubling you
Your pet will always be there to comfort you
