My Dog Ben (Original Lyrics)I have a dog; his name is Ben

He is my pet and my best friend.He is large, furry and very white

With brown patches on the both his sides

He has big eyes, soft and round

His floppy ears are silky and brown

I have a dog; his name is Ben

He is my pet and my best friend.

Everyday he eats eggs and rice

But what he loves the most r blueberry pies!

When I hear a happy loud groan I know he has

found a big fat bone

I have a dog; his name is Ben

He is my pet and my best friend. He loves to

sniff run and bark

Chasing white rabbits in the Park

He loves to swim and loves to surf

The beach is one of his favourite turfs

I have a dog; his name is Ben

He is my pet and my bestfriend.

He shakes his head and wag

his tail

When he sees the postman

drop the mailHe greets me with a kiss and a

hug

 A jig, a dance and a roll on the

rug

I have a dog; his name is Ben

He is my pet and my best

friend.

He curls at my feet when we

sleep at night Sometimes we

cuddle and hug each other

tight I love my Ben, there canbe no other
