CLIFFORD CAPERS


 ~ Songs and Poems ~  
 

On Top of a Doghouse
(tune of Old Smokey)

On top of a doghouse
Just cut from a log
Lies big red and lovable
Clifford the dog.

He's playful and friendly, 
With all of the kids,
Though he can be naughty, 
We forgive things he did.

So, if you like puppies, 
Brown, big, spotted, small
We know you'll love Clifford, 
The best of them all!

C-L-I-F-F-O-R-D
(tune of "Adam's Family"
Words by Sarah Froehlich

Big red dog (snap, snap)
Big red dog (snap, snap)
Big red dog, big red dog, 
Big red dog (snap, snap)

He's big and he's red
Long ears hanging from his head, 
His adventures give him his fame
And Clifford is his name.

Clifford Was His Name
(tune Bingo)

Emily Elizabeth had a dog
And Clifford was his name-o

Clifford was his name
Clifford was his name
Clifford was his name

And Clifford was his name-O.

Emily Elizabeth had a dog
And Clifford was his name-o.

He was R-E-D
He was R-E-D
He was R-E-D

And Clifford was his name-O. 

Clifford
(tune "Bingo")

I know a dog who's big and red;
I wish he lived at my house.

I would feed him doggy chow.
He would say, "Bow wow wow!"
He'd protect me with a growl.

If Clifford lived at my house.

I think I'll sit down here and cry!

Look, he's sleepting under the tree!

Clifford, Clifford
(from Melissa Tonnessen)

C-L-I-F-F-O-R-D
Clifford, Clifford,
He's the dog for me!
He's BIG and he's RED and he EATS a  lot!
He's the best friend that I have got!
