Liner Notes

My 4 year-old golden retriever, Roger, wrote this. I just performed it. And yes, he insisted on all the exclamation points.

Lyrics

CHORUS
G G
Today….Is the best day of my life!
Em
Just like yesterday!
C D
And certainly tomor-row!
G G
Mom kissed me on my head! My brother called me a “good boy!”
Em
Dad gave me a belly rub!
C D
And I found my squeaky toy! (squeaky toy solo)

Verse 1 C D / C D
I will show you all my tricks if you come visit me!
I’ll bring you my tennis ball, you throw it and I’ll retrieve!
I can hump your leg, I’ll moisturize your shoes!
You can scratch my ears and I’ll share my fur with you!

CHORUS
G G
Today….Is the best day of my life!
Em
Just like yesterday!
C D
And certainly tomor-row!
G G
Mom calls me the helping dog when she says “oops” in the kitchen!
Em
That’s when I come running!
C D
It could be a piece of chicken! And really like chicken! It’s tasty!

Verse 2 C D / C D
We can go for a ride in the van and I’ll share the backseat!
We can stick our heads out the window and you can pet me!
I really am a lap dog! Who cares that I’m 85 pounds!?!
When we get to the dog park we’ll find stinky things to roll around in!

BRIDGE
Em
I feel so happy but I’m a bit confused…
D
Mom says that I have problems with my memory...
Em
“Cause I swear nobody fed me, it’s been at least a week!
D
I am wasting away into nothing! I’m not fat I’m just fluffy!

CHORUS
Today is the best day of my life!
Today Is the best day of my life!

OUTRO
Snow is the best!
I once ate a sock!
SQUIRREL!

you nailed it , ive never met a golden retriever that wasn't footloose and fancy free

@dasbinky 6d

Never change, Beth. ❤️

I don't think I know anyone else who could pull off this vocal track with that level of sincerity. (Admittedly, that may say more about me than you.) I can picture the intensely frenetic video for this one.

"I’m not fat I’m just fluffy" is my new motto. Also, I may change my ringtone for you to "I once ate a sock!" Alternately, what an amazing epitaph.

Hell yeah. Loads of fun!

Ha ha! Delightful!!! Lots of dog gone good energy and fun in your delivery of this one. Hank approves! And Karen and I really enjoyed it. The cat did not really cares And I don’t really want to know how your shoes are being moisturized. Ending is perfect!

Hard to imagine you didn't have a blast creating this song. But what's harder to imagine is that you don't love and appreciate your dog. I mean, if you can have it hump your leg and moisturize your shoes, and still write this song...You LOVE your dog...Which is just awesome!

I had a good laugh with this song! Squirrel! And...he once at a sock? :)

Ha, says it all really, I've got a GR pup (8 mos) sleeping at my feet at the moment, today genuinely was the best day of her life(!). Great doggy energy, the driving guitar was perfect and the enthusiasm in your vocal was a pretty good approximation of how I hear my pup's voice... Really good, fun, work.

Love this. I've got a Goldendoodle. I'll bet I could get a pretty good song out of him.
This was just so fun to listen to. Moisturize your shoes....haha!! Your vocals are amazing.
Favorite part is the end. SQUIRRIL! My doodle lives for the squirrils. I really want another dog, a golden retriever. My husband says one dog is enough. I'm debating whether or not it is worth getting a divorce for (jk)
