"A Dog Is a Love Sponge" is the second song from "Dog Days". It is sung by an off-screen Kitty about how to treat dogs and how they can be "man's best friend". Throughout the segment a raccoon boy takes in a dog.
This is the one "Danger Rangers" song not to show any of the characters singing.
Lyrics[]
Kitty: Love sponge.
You know, your dog is just a love sponge.
All you got to do is love him a lot,
And baby, you got
A best friend
Who's always there 'cause he's a love sponge.
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: Everybody needs a love sponge.
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
He's gonna soak up all the love you can give.
That doggy will live
Just for you.
(Backing Trio: He'll be a friend to you, and he'll depend on you.)
Kitty: Take him out to run and to play.
(Backing Trio Oh. Oh. Oh.)
Kitty: Show him how to sit and to stay.
(Backing Trio: Whoa whoa whoa.)
Kitty: Exercise your dog every day
And give him laughter and smiles.
(Backing Trio: Got to give him lots of hugs.)
Kitty: Because your dog is just a love sponge.
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: He was born to be a love sponge.
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: So fill his water dish and keep him well fed
Scratching his head,
And remember what we say: When you make your dog obey...
It means you love him.
(Backing Trio: Love that dog.)
Kitty: It's up to you to take care of him.
(Backing Trio: Train your dog.)
Kitty: Make sure you teach him so your dog understands
All your commands
To keep him safe.
(Fallbot: Heel! Come! Sit! Good dog!)
(All: Yeah!)
Kitty: When you're strolling down the neighborhood block,
(Backing Trio: Oh. Oh. Oh.)
Kitty: Keep him on a leash for his walk.
(Backing Trio: Oh oh.)
Kitty: And be gentle and be kind when you talk.
Never yell or mean.
(Backing Trio: Never yell or be mean.)
Kitty: Any dog is there a love sponge.
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: I wanna get myself a love sponge.
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: Then I'll be happy 'cause I know then he'll be
Loyal to me,
And all I've gotta do is just be good to him, see?
'Cause he's a love sponge...
(Backing Trio: Love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: Who gives his lovin' to me.
(Backing Trio: I want a love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: He wants some lovin', you see.
(Backing Trio: I want a love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty: He gives his lovin' to me.
(Backing Trio: I want a love sponge, yeah.)
Kitty and Backing Trio: Everybody loves a love sponge.
