Leo’s Song

This is a song that I thought up after looking into the blank eyes of Leo, who, after 6 months of training, still isn’t paper trained.

It took me 6 weeks to teach Leo how to shake hands. Now that Leo knows how to shake hands, when I command “down”, he offers his paw.

I did this song in GarageBand, starting by laying down the drum track, then played out the bass track on the computer keyboard.

Then I played the ukulele, sang the song and added the barks.

The chords are F, C5? (CGCG), Am, G

Just in case you want to sing along:

You don’t know how to speak my language, do you?
You’ve got a thousand words but I just got two.
Can’t you speak to me?
Just a woof or a howl?

You think you make sense to me, really you don’t.
You think my head will work it out, but it won’t.
Won’t you try it my way?
Just a woof or a howl?
It’ ain’t hard.

When you’re ready to speak my language, call me.
Two simple words I’ll come a-running to you.
So come on now,
Just a woof or a howl.
I’ll come running.
Be by your side.

So come on now.
Just a woof or a howl.
Just a woof or a howl.
