Hey There, Apollo

October 30th, 2007 · 5 Comments


Hey There, Apollo
(To the tune of “Hey there, Delilah”, shown above in the video)

Hey there Apollo, what’s it like out in the back yard?
You’re a hundred feet away, but boy, tonight you look so naughty,
Yes you do.
Just look at all the things you chew.
You know it’s true.

Hey there Apollo, don’t you worry about the kitchen,
It’ll be there in the morning,
You can sleep out on the lawn,
Close your eyes.
Sleep a little longer ‘fore you rise,
Then come inside.

Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.

Hey there Apollo, I know nights are getting hot
But just believe me pup, someday you’ll feel the chill there in the yard
You’ll have it good
You’ll feel the cold you know you should
The yard is good.

Hey there Apollo, you’ve got so much time to play
If every puppy toy we gave to you
You grabbed and took away,
We’d buy you more.
Even though you chew them to the core.
You’d still have more.

Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.

Around the lake’s a long, long hike,
But you can run beside the bike,
We’ll zoom along as fast as in a car.
The other dogs will bark at us,
But you’ll just bark along because.
You know that none of them can run this far
Apollo I can promise you,
That by the time we get through,
The yard will never ever be the same
It’s just so tame.

Hey there Apollo,
You be good and don’t you bite me
Two more months and you’re off puppy food
You’ll keep making dog poop like you do.
You know it’s all inside of you
You can lift your leg if you want to.
Hey there Apollo, here’s to you
This one’s for you.

Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.
Oh, what you chew and eat.

    Someone has way too much time on his hands! Oh, wait. We’re retired so we’re entitled.

    I didn’t really spend TOO much time on this… It kept bouncing around in my head, so I thought I should write it down.

    Mom,
    To see what Apollo looks like, you can look at the most recent postings. He really hasn’t changed much in the past few months. If we get any new photos of him that show him off especially, I will post them.
