I need a white dog to keep me company I need a white dog to keep watch over meWhen you're feeling lonely or you're in a jam It's good to know there's someone there to hold your handI need a white dog to keep me company I need a white dog to keep watch over meYour conversations are all well and good But words are just one way of making yourself understoodI need a white dog to keep me company I need a white dog to keep watch over meWhen you're feeling lonely or you're in a jam It's good to know there's someone there to hold your handMy winged conversations are all well and good But words are just one way of making yourself understoodHe's the one that picks me up when things go wrong So I thought I'd commemorate that pale hound in a songHe's my white dog, he keeps me company He's my white dog, he keeps watch over meHe's my white dog, he keeps me company He's my white dog, he keeps watch over me
