Question: song for Chloe

mamessner — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:07:16 -0800

Help us sing a song to our Beagle, Chloe.

My wife and I love to talk and sing for our Beagle, Chloe. This morning my wife started a new song, but we can't finish it. Can you help us come up with a final line?

(to the tune of I'm a Little Teacup)

I'm a little beagle, short and cute
Here is my tail and here is my snoot (like any beagle, she's got a crazy nose working all the time).

When I get all riled up, hear me snort (when Chloe get's excited, she does this little retrograde sneeze/snort thing, which apparently is very common among beagles).

...?

A lot of things rhyme with snort, but we can't think of anything funny/appropriate. Any help?

"don't tip me over just 'cause i'm short"?

"wagging my tail is my favourite sport"?

"songs about dogs are my favourite sort"?

PUT (hands over her head) ME INTO A COZY FORT!

or

NOW SHE'S HOME (hug her) in a COZY PORT!

or

SHE'S - A DOG! - OF A BEAGLE SORT!

or

NOT JUST A CAKE - SHE'S A BEAGLE TORTE!

(writing songs for dogs is awesome).

An alternative to snort based on your description:

When I get all riled up, hear me sneeze
Life with me is such a breeze!

Chasing squirrels /(or "looking for food")/ is my favourite sport!

If I were a lawyer I would take you to court!

Denying me treats ought to be a tort!

...A beagle like me can teleport
But please don't feed me any lousewort

/alternate ending
Algorithms, I like, including 'presort'
But make it W3C compliant, or I'll report

lucky beagle!

Alternate version:

When I get all riled up, hear me snuff,
And do the sweetest beagle stuff.

Anyway, "snuff" would open up some new rhyme possibilities.

LOVE IT! Keep 'em coming.

Obligatory puppy pics, so you know who you're writing for: Chloe the Wonderpup

So far we're liking: ...chasing April is my favorite sport. (thanks gursky: our neighbor's dog is named April and they chase each other all the time)

and ...hear me sneeze. / Life as Chloe is such a breeze. (thanks platinum)

How about: ...collab'rative songwriting should be a sport.

When I get all riled up, hear me snuffle
I can cause a big kerfuffle.

(More people need to use the word "kerfuffle". It's just such a fun word to say.)

Also, after looking at the photos:

When I get all riled up, hear me snort
Flip me over and WUDGA WUDGA WUDGA WUDGA WHO DA CUTEST PUPPIE IN DA WOILD? YOU ARE! YOU ARE!

What a cute puppy! After seeing those photos:

...hear me sneeze. / With a face like this won't you kiss me please! (And then you get to give the dog a kiss!)
