Lyrics
- I’ve got a cute little four-legged male
Cute litle ears and a cute little tail
He’s got a beaut of a cute little wail
Ki-I-Youdle, that poodle
Sings doggie words to a dog melody
Warbles “away” all the day willingly
I’ve grown attached to his dog harmony
He made a hit with me
Chorus
With his Ki-I-I-I-You-oodle You-oodle
That Ki-I-Youdleing Dog
He’ll go off his noo-oodle noo-oodle
Ki-I-Youdeling
Morning, noon and night
He’s around running loose
Singing like a four-legged Mister Carouse
Ki-I-I-I he’s a wonderful
Ki-I-I-Youdleing Dog
- Talk of your Melbas and singers of choice
Talk of your voices that make you rejoice
They don’t compare with my pet’s little voice
You could pawn it, dog gone it
Queen Tetrazine sings as high as could be
I’ve heard that she hits a “C” easily
My little pet sings his dog melody
Ten notes above high “C”
