With apologies to Johnny Horton

Well, just this morning we took a little trip
Up and down the quiet streets, ole Teka let 'er rip
Trailing her pink puppy leash, with muzzer right behind
Teka making fools of us, we must've lost our mind

Oh, she ran through the rocks and she ran through the cactus
And she ran through the bushes where muzzer couldn't go
She ran so fast even I couldn't catch her
I thought that we were heading for Nogales, Mexico

Teka must've thought she was gonna take a skip
She waited for a chance to go, and then she made her slip
Muzzer bent down with her bag to pick up Teka's prize
Teka jerked the leash away and gave us a surprise.

chorus....

She ran into the neighbor's yard, and then across the street
She ran to find that kitty cat that muzzer thinks is sweet
She ran to tease the doggies living right behind the fence
She ran and ran 'til Gussie dog was clear out of patience

Chorus.....

Running to the left and then she's running to the right
I really thought that she was gonna run until the night
Running down our street again, then up the other side
Darting back and forth again, oh what a joyous ride

chorus...

She headed for the big street where the cars all go so fast.
And then a runner grabbed her leash as she went running past
When mum and I caught up with her, she gave us a shy smile
And then she licked the runner's face and showed him all her wiles.

He told her she was "oh so cute" and scratched behind her ears
He put her down upon the ground and laughed at muzzer's fears.
He said that Teka really was a "darling little dog"
And then we headed home again to write this in my blog

She ran through the rocks and she ran through the cactus
She ran through the bushes where muzzer couldn't go
She ran so fast even I couldn't catch her
I thought she would end up in Nogales Mexico

Butchy and Snickers: Muzzer says you are right about the song. We would love to ship Teka off to live with E.Beth, but we are not making much progress! Great to hear from you guys.

Bussie! Have you returned? And why are you taking Teka's side in this? I was so worn out I napped the day away.

Ivy-kins: Glad you liked it, I liked the Santa Rope song too!

Oh no Teka!!! She is crazy! Thanks for the offer for some socks, but so far a litle light gauze has kept the doofus from being mister licky!

Good song, good dog Gussie, bad dog Teka. But very cute all the same.

My mom says thanks Gussie - she also mumbled something about now she can't get that *&@? tune out of her head? Her head looks pretty empty to me but she has been humming the same music ever since she read your post!!

We loved the song and all kinds of fun images came to mind!!
