lyrics

V1: Beckett
She don't like when she needs a cleaning
She finds the whole ordeal demeaning
Got a goofy smile you can't ignore
Left outside she'll claw down the door
She's my sister, that's right mister
I'm never gonna let her go

V2: Xoxo
He'll barely eat if presented with a steak
Take him hiking now he needs a break
Sheds more fluff than a cottonwood tree
Sniffs eight times before taking a pee
He's my brother from a different mother
I'm never gonna let him go

Ch: Both
In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds, honey we're the big dog prize
We're gonna spite our noses right off of our faces
There won't be nothing but big old hearts dancing in our eyes

V3: Beckett
Never seen her in a bad mood
But watch your fingers when you give her food
Louder than a freight train when a'napping
Will run right through you with her ears a'flapping
She's a whopper, you just can't stop her
I'm never gonna let her go

V4: Xoxo
We sent all the chipmunks flyin'
Rumor has it he's half feline
His hearing might be a bit occluded
But he's peachy to be included
I'm his yin, we're close as kin
I'm never gonna let him go

Ch: Both
In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds, honey we're the big dog prize
We're gonna spite our noses right off of our faces
There won't be nothing but big old hearts dancing in our eyes
There won't be nothing but big old hearts dancing in our eyes
In spite of ourselves
