In a peaceful quiet town by the Bay

there lived a young girl named Rita

and she had a birthday, she always

wished for someone special and hope

for a friend because she was lonely

and her parents knew it

So they brought her a little intrusive puppy

Rita said I think I would name you Pip

Although her first weeks with him

the dog refused to answer by the name

and refuse to act right because he

was a baby dog

Rita did everything to train him

and one day she listen to music with Pip

Pip would groove to the music, barking in tune

and dancing on his hind

Rita knew how to get Pip now

She would give him music when he acts right

and dance with him

Her parents thought she was crazy

until she got a pic and video on camera

Pip

And because Pip was shy with other people

Her parents told the town and Rita

had so many fans and friends she could barely count

Pip I love you the most, you're my friend

and I wanna to be with you forever dancing

and grooving to music everyday.
