Puppy Got Ball

I like new balls and I can not lie
You other puppies can't deny
That when your sidekick walks in with an itty bitty bag
And a round ball in your face
You get sprung, wanna be all tough
Acting like that ball ain’t stuffed
Out of the pockets the sidekicks’ wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

Oh tennis ball, I wanna get wit'cha
And just go fetch ya
Other puppies tried to warn me
But that ball right there just really warms me
Ooh, yellow and green skin
I know my sidekick is my friend
Well, throw it, you know it
'Cause I ain't the average puppy.

I've seen the begging
To heck with the barking.
They’re round. Great.
Got it goin' on like it’s my fate.
I'm tired of squeaky toys
Taken the place of my yellow joy
Take the average black lab and ask her that
The ball’s gotta be all that

So, puppies! (Yeah!) Puppies! (Yeah!)
Has your sidekick got the ball? (Heck yeah!)
Tell them to throw it! (Throw it!) Throw it! (Throw it!)
Throw that tennis ball!
Puppy got ball
(Minnesota live with the rappin’ labby)
(Minnesota live with the rappin’ labby)

Puppy got ball
(Minnesota live with the rappin’ labby)
(Minnesota live with the rappin’ labby)


I like 'em round, and new
And when you’re throwin, it’s true
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I want get them home
And joy! Double-up, joy, joy.
I ain't talkin' bout kong toys
'Cause rubber parts are made for noise.

I want 'em real new and yellow
So find that color that’s mellow
Haley’s in no trouble
Not beggin' for a bit of that kibble
So I'm lookin' at Eukaneuba dog show
watchin' those puppies walkin' like pros
You can have them squeekies
I'll keep my ball cause I know

A word to the mixed up puppies, I wanna help ya
I won't bark or sniff ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna fetch
Til the break of dawn
The balls got it goin' on
A lot of pups won't like this song
'Cause them pups like to hide it and leave it
And I'd rather stay and play

'Cause I'm bored and I’m young
And I'm down to get the fetching on
So, puppies! {Yeah!} Puppies! {Yeah}
If you wanna play with those tennis balls! {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick around!
Even older puppies got to shout
Puppy got ball!

Puppy got ball!

Yeah, puppies... when it comes to tennis balls,
colors’ got nothin' to do with my selection.
Orange, Red, Green…
ha ha, only if there’s no yellow to be seen.

So your sidekicks rolls a kong toy
thinkin’ that might bring you some joy
I bet your sidekicks got a tennis ball in the back of her Honda
This lab puppy don't want none
Unless you've got balls, pup
You can do long naps or throw ups,
But please don't lose that ball

Some puppies wanna play that squeaky yo
And tell you that the ball ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So sidekick says that’s that
But you ain’t down with that!
'Cause your needs are small and your clock is tickin’
And you’re thinkin' bout stickin’

To the squeekies laying on your rug:
But they ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a ball, I can't resist it
Red mud and stink didn't miss it
Some other pup tried to dis
'Cause they knows they can’t resist
He had balls but he chose to ignore them
So I pulled up quick to get wit 'em

So puppies, if the ball is round,
And you want to fetch till the sun goes down,
Dial 1-800-THROW-A-BALL
And leave those squeaky toys
Puppy got ball!

Little gray on the snout
But the pups got ball
Little short in the legs
But the pups got ball
Little toys on the ground
But the pups got ball
Little kitties like yarn
But the pups got ball
