The BARF Song
There is Nothin' Like a Bone


(sung to the tune of There is Nothin' Like a Dame)

Music by Richard Rogers
Lyrics by Kira and Chief (with contributions by Oscar Hammerstein II)

First Verse

Chief: We got meat straight from a chicken.
Kira: We got fish right from the sea.
Chief: We got apples and bananas you can pick right off a tree.
Kira: We got yoghurt and raw goat's milk, and ice-cream in them cones.
Unison: What ain't we got?
Unison: We ain't got bones.

Second Verse

Kira: We get biscuits from the pet shop.
Chief: We get pasta, we get rice.
Kira: We get offal from our butcher -
Chief: and it's really so damn nice.
Kira: We get liver that's been dried.
Chief: We get dizzy from the smell.
Unison: What don't we get?
Unison: You know damn well.

Chorus

Chief: I have nothing tasty to hold in my Malamute paw.
Kira: What we need is what there ain't no substitute for.

Unison: There is nothing like a bone. Nothing in the world.
Unison: We're so hungry that we moan, for a great big juicy bone.

Repeat first verse again but without words (woo only)

Chorus

Chief: I have nothing tasty to hold in my Malamute paw.
Kira: What we need is what there ain't no substitute for.

Unison: There is nothing like a bone. Nothing in the world.
Unison: There is nothing else to own, but a great big juicy bone.
