Rover Plays Again

Verse 1

Old brown Rover on the porch in June

Dusty nose, silver moon

He lifts his head, low and slow

Says Paw, let’s play a game before you go

One dog, wild grin, flashing eyes

Tail wagging under twilight skies

Me and Rover, side by side

Sometimes I swear he talks, no need to hide

Chorus

Rover, my old talking friend

Running and rolling ‘til the end

Sits by the screen, presses that start

Video games and barks from his heart

Rover, Rover, my talking dog

Verse 2

Sometimes he wins, sometimes it’s me

His paws beat buttons, fast as can be

Howling at pixels riding on a screen

My dog’s got skills I’ve never seen

He says Jump, jump, get that bone

Zigzag here until it’s gone

He’s got a trick, joystick in paw

Sneaking high scores without a flaw

Chorus

Rover, my old talking friend

Running and rolling ‘til the end

Sits by the screen, presses that start

Video games and barks from his heart

Rover, Rover, my talking dog

Bridge

Three cheers for Rover, clever and keen

Sitting on rugs, always so serene

Playing each night, winning unseen

Best pal I’ve had, you know what I mean

Verse 3

So gather ‘round, pull up a chair

Listen to Rover if you dare

He’ll tell a tale, chasing frogs

But tonight, he’s chasing logs

Chorus

Rover, my old talking friend

Running and rolling ‘til the end

Sits by the screen, presses that start

Video games and barks from his heart

Rover, Rover, my talking dog

Outro

Stay with me, old pal

We’ll play again, somehow

Rover’s the legend, it’s true

A dog who talks, plays, and loves you
