I am a Bohemian dog :
I ever am free from care :
I never come short of prog,
And I live at a place called Where.
I sit and I crunch some bones in a bunch,
And often I dine upon cat ;
I frequently munch a castaway lunch :
I 'm jolly and happy and fat.
For I 'm a Bohemian dog :
I ever am free from care ;
I never come short of prog,
And I live in a place called Where.
Oh, I 'm a Bohemian pup ;
My mother had high degree ;
My father he captured the cup,
With his elegant pedigree ;
My brothers and sisters are troubled with ' misters,'
Who give them carresses and kicks ;
Who coddle and cuff them, who praise and rebuff them,
An teach them ridiculous tricks.
But I 'm a Bohemian pup :
In a mongrel companie ;
Yet I 'm happy to say the mongrels look up
The mongrels look up to me.
O, I 'm a Bohemian dog :
I 'm nobody's servant or pet,
And never a master shall flog,
Or cuss the subscriber you bet.
The slang that I sling, the blushes would bring
To my mother of high degree ;
For never, I vow, have I made my bow-wow
In a high-toned companie.
Yet tho' a Bohemian pup,
I Ve a beautiful pedigree :
I 'm a reglar prince and the mongrels look up
The mongrels look up to me.
Bohemia land of the free !
Bohemia land of the true !
Thy gardens are fair to see
Thy skies are balmy and blue.
Tho' they dub me a scamp, and call me a tramp,
My freedom I '11 never resign
While a bone I can crunch for supper or lunch,
And a nook in Bohemia's mine.
For I 'm a Bohemian pup,
In a mongrel companie ;
But I 'm proud to relate that the mongrels look up
The mongrels look up to me.
