Does anyone remember the old song that goes?

"my dog has fleas, they bite his knees"? If so, can you list the lyrics?? Everyone I've talked to remembers it, but not what the rest says. Thanks!!

Update:

Thanks, Smokeater...but that's not the song I grew up with. Awesome effort though!

I've looked and looked on the net and cannot find it so far. A lot of oldtimers remember it from their youth as well...but can't remember the whole thing, either.

    TADA!!!

    My dog has fleas, uh-huh,

    My dog has fleas, uh-huh,

    My dog has fleas, from his head down past his knees,

    Yeah, my dog has fleas, uh-huh.

    My dog he likes to sit around and scratch,

    My dog he likes to sit around and scratch,

    Well he sits around and scratches,

    Till his hair falls off in patches,

    Yeah, my dog he likes to sit around and scratch.

    'Cause my dog has fleas...(chorus)

    Well, we took him to the vet, uh-huh,

    We took him to the vet, uh-huh,

    We took him to the vet, but he ain't stopped scratchin' yet,

    Since we took him to the vet, uh-huh.

    Well a couple fleas they jumped onto my cat,

    And a couple others jumped into my hat,

    Now we're all sittin' scratchin'

    While them flea eggs they keep hatchin',

    Now we all got fleas, uh-huh.

    Now, we all have fleas, uh-huh,

    We all have fleas, uh-huh,

    We all have fleas, from our head down past our knees,

    Yeah, we all have fleas, uh-huh

    (I can't believe I found this)... ;)

    I can't remember them either, but I found 2 different lyrics. first one...

    My dog has fleas

    Hey, no complaint

    A gripe it ain't

    But the facts at hand appear to be these

    My dog has fleas

    He's got no annoying tendencies

    He's only got fleas

    My dog has fleas

    Hey, it's no brag

    And I don't nag

    But I'll gladly snag some sympathies 'cause

    My dog has fleas

    He's got no degrees, no PHDs

    He's only got fleas

    Now it's a fact I don't consider too essential

    In fact, I'd tend to say it's quite inconsequential

    Yes, to dwell upon it isn't my intention

    But while we're on the subject I will mention

    That my dog -

    By now you may be familiar with his plight.

    Now it's a fact I don't consider too essential

    In fact, I'd tend to say it's quite inconsequential

    Yes, to dwell upon it isn't my intention

    But at the risk of repetition, I will mention, mention

    My dog has fleas

    Hey, it's no lie

    But he's so shy let's

    Keep it just between us please

    That my dog

    Ooh discretion is better

    No he hasn't got lumps or knobby knees

    No derby hats or dungarees

    No mosquitoes, bats, or bumblebees

    He's clearly got

    Merely got

    He's only got - !

    My parents were part of the boogie woogie generation and I used to have such fun watching them jitterbug! One of their favorite songs was the A Train, as I remember. My mom is now 88, I am 65
