Your sisters and your brothers
Every one a different colour
Pups for sale, a sign nailed to a tree
You were such a mangy sight
Didn't know your fur was white
'Til I gave you a good shampoo to kill off all the fleas
You would never growl or nip
You were born smart as a whip
For Milk-Bones you'd perform your set of tricks
You would walk me through the park
Every evening before dark
Smelling grass and eating trash and chasing after sticks
You're a good boy Harry
A real good boy
Thank you for the golden years
You've spent here by my side
You've been a good boy Harry
A real good boy
But even good boys
Have to say goodbye
When Joanie passed away
I'd have stayed in bed all day
But I held the leash and found my feet and took you for a walk
Now it's hard to get around
You and me we're slowing down
You understand my feelings when I hurt too much to talk
You're a good boy Harry
A real good boy
Thank you for the golden years
You've spent here by my side
You're a good boy Harry
A real good boy
But even good boys
Have to say goodbye
My grandson says he'll bring you to the home to visit me
Sometime when I'm settled and I'm fit for company
I won't complain when I find a little tuft of hair
Matted on my slipper a reminder you were there
Soon he will arrive
To take you for a drive
Along with all your tennis balls, your blanket, and your treats
And it just won't be the same
I'll forget and say your name
Expecting you to claim your place curled up beside my feet
You've been a good boy Harry
A real good boy
Thank you for the golden years
You've spent here by my side
You've been a good boy Harry
A real good boy
But even good boys
Have to say goodbye
Yes even good boys have to say goodbye
