FIDO, THE RABID DOG
(New Lyrics by Liz Milner. Tune is Hi Ho The Rattling Bog)

Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally- o
Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally-o

Fido was a Pekinese, a rare breed, a rabid breed
And he brought home trash and ticks and fleas
And bit my sister Sally-o.

Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally- o
Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally-o
And in that trash there was a bird, a dead bird, a rotten bird
Bird in the trash with the ticks and the fleas
Brought home by the rabid Pekinese that bit my sister Sally-O.
Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally-o
Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally-o

And on that bird there was a tick, a small tick, a deadly tick
And it gave poor Sally Lyme disease, along with the rabies, ticks and fleas
Brought home by the rabid Pekinese that bit my sister Sally-o.

Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally-o
Fido, the rabid dog, he bit my sister Sally-o


I wrote these lyrics as the result of being subjected to two hours of the Rattlin’ Bog being sung over and over and over again by a group who were hired to sing at local craft show and apparently knew only one song that was appropriate. If you enjoy this song, please meander over to Amazon and check out my newly published book, The Zombie Librarians' Holiday Songbook, in print or Kindle
