No Bob to wake me up

No Bob to give a treat 

No Bob to lick my face or rest weary at my feet

No Bob to give a tablet too

Wrapped in pate tight 

No Bob to lie down by my bed

And stroke and say goodnight

 

No Bob to put a collar on to take on daily walks 

No Bob to trot by my side and listen to my talks 

No Bob to chase the cat or bark at my front door

No Bob to sit in front of me and offer me his paw.

 

No Bob to make me smile as he offers me his ball

No Bob to hear the doorbell and charge off down the hall

No Bob to get excited as we approach the sea 

On holiday and on the sand as happy as can be.

 

No Bob to brush and clip and cut

And made to look quite smart

No muddy paws to wash and dry

From walks across the park

No Bob to do anything as he collapsed and died

Eventually he broke my heart and so I sat and cried

 

But Bob he was the best and he stuck to me like glue

Me and him were bezzy mates , I loved him through and through

But now he’s left me all bereft and sitting here alone.

I’ve only got his bear and ball and chewy rubber bone.

 

So speed up to doggy heaven as that’s where you will go

And as I walk the other two, dashing too and fro’

We’ll all remember you forever you happy little soul

Because now in all our lives is a great big Bob shaped hole.
