Gentle Colleagues:

Information, please! Wondering about the composer and singer of the song used on Sesame Street, called, "Hard Workin' Dog". It's a doggone good'un, and still holds up right well after all these years.

The lyrics are:

I'm a dog
I'm a workin' dog
I'm a hard workin' dog
Hard workin' dog

Now I never said I was a hog
And you can see I'm not a frog
I'm tryin' to tell ya, I'm a dog
I'm a cow dog

I'm a dog
I'm a workin' dog
I'm a hard workin' dog
Hard workin' dog

Now some dogs can fetch a stick
Other dogs will shake your hand
I even heard of a dog that can roll over
All I know how to do
Is take a hundred cows and teach 'em some manners

I'm a dog
I'm a workin' dog
I'm a hard workin' dog
Hard workin' dog

Now I'm not the top dog
I'm not much of a bird dog
I'm not the best watch dog
But I'm an awful good cow dog

I'm a dog
I'm a workin' dog
I'm a hard workin' dog
Workin' like a dog-gone dog

It's a dog's life, and I love it!

Thanks in advance,
