It's been a long time
Since I've had fur all over
A big snout that comes to drool
On my knees
A friend who wags his tail
When he sees you
Do you know a better way to express joy?

It's a friend who heals you from defeat
Who will follow you even if you end up dishonest
Who has in his eyes a spark more generous
Than many dubious declarations of love

I want a dog, a real one,
A dog that's useless but
I want a dog, it's true
A dog that's useless but

I've had enough of all these egocentric cats
Who despise you between two naps even in public
Who come to scratch their caress and their three kibbles
Who always come to put their butts in front of your head

Who knock down the rods by climbing the curtains
Then who leave without a smiley or a text
Who sulk if you haven't changed the litter
Who bite your feet under the blanket in winter

I want a dog, a real one,
A dog that's useless but...
I want a dog, it's true
A dog that's useless but

I realize that all these ladies are right
When they swear only by the eyes of their bichon
Lovers pass and leave only crumbs
The years pass, your dog always throws you a party

Even deprived of three legs and his ears
Even if he smells even worse than the day before
Even if it's even worse on the days when he's wet
He's your friend, he doesn't do things by halves

I want a dog, a real one,
A dog that smells like a dog but...
I want a dog, it's true
It's true, it's useless but

I want a dog
