Kelli Welli & friends are proud to present this 15-track album made for and with dogs — one song is apparently written by her adorable black lab, Piper Peach, who is also featured on the album cover — along with her dog-loving family and friends. Woven in with Kelli's signature wit, some songs reflect the dog's point-of-view, some the joy and quirkiness our furry friends bring to humans' lives, and some just celebrate everything canine. Touching and poignant tracks like "Rescue" and "Sweet Dreams, My Doggie" round out this album that's meant not only to echo the love we feel for our "fur babies," but to express great respect for the way they seem to treat us with unconditional love. How do they do this so well? And what can we learn from them?

Working tirelessly to get things recorded as naturally as they could, Loki, Piper, and Mia perform a live "dognado" while Kelli Welli just hopes she's holding the mic properly. Piper makes a couple of corrections to Kelli's form and they finally get the best, most authentic take.

LYRICS

1. DOG PARTY

 

You took Route 2

Where did it get you? 

To the place where the puppies are waiting for you…

 

It’s a dog party

Not a …small party

So many dogs, the place is all barky

But the beat goes down and you look around…   

 

Dogs are still dancing, yeah — 1-2-3

Dogs are still dancing yeah 

 

Hard to bring ‘em down

Hard to keep ‘em low

Cause there’s something that a dog knows…

             

LOVE — unconditionally to be happy

LOVE — unconditionally

LOVE — unconditionally to be happy

LOVE — unconditionally

 

Do they need us anymore?

Did they ever ne—ed

Us as much as we–ee

We— need — them—

 

Our best friends, oh our best friends 

Our best friends, oh our best friends 

 

Welcome to the party, oh welcome to the party

Our best friends, oh our best friends 

Our best friends, oh our best friends

Welcome to the party, oh welcome to the party

 

It’s a dog party

Not a small party

Everybody’s welcome from the Dukes to the Sparkys

When the beat goes down and you look around…

 

Dogs are still dancing, yeah — 1-2-3

Dogs are still dancing yeah

 

How’d they figure out?

Are they giving how-tos?

 

Welcome to the party, oh welcome to the party

Welcome to the party, oh welcome to the party… 

 

LOVE — unconditionally to be happy

LOVE — unconditionally

LOVE — unconditionally to be happy

LOVE — unconditionally

 

It’s a dog party

Not a …small party

So many dogs, the place is all barky!


 

 

2. SOGGY DOGGY TOY

 

That’s a soggy doggy toy

I don’t wanna touch it

I know that you’re wanting to play

But a soggy doggy toy

Is not too invitin’ 

It makes me wanna run away—

A soggy doggy toy in a drooly doggy mouth…

Even though you know I love everything— about you…

Sorry my doggy, gotta find a less soggy doggy toy (soggy doggy toy)

 

You’re a good dog, true, but eww— no thank you!

 

Soggy soggy soggy soggy soggy soggy soggy

Doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy doggy

Toy toy toy — gotta get another toy! / Toy! Toy! Toy!

That’s a soggy mess! Soggy soggy mess!

 

Drop the toy! Drop it — drop the toy!

Leave the toy? Leave it — leave the toy!

Find a toy! Any other toy!

That’s not a soggy mess! Soggy — mess!

 

That’s a soggy doggy toy

I don’t wanna touch it

I know that you’re wanting to play

But a soggy doggy toy

Is not too invitin’ 

It makes me wanna run away—

A soggy doggy toy in a drooly doggy mouth…

Even though you know I love everything— about you…

 

Sorry my doggy, gotta find a less…

Sorry my friend, gotta put an end to the soggy mess!

Soggy mess! Soggy soggy mess!

Eh… well, I guess I can do it… let me find some tongs… or gloves… oy


 

 

3. RESCUE

 

Maybe I picked you out of a crowd

When the world said rescue you

But you rescued me—

But you rescued me

 

Maybe we'll find light together

The horizon is far

But now—we’re not—

Alone

 

You're my home

 

When you put your trust in me

You make me reach for who I can be

I didn’t know that was in here this whole time

And when you love me through my faults

You make me feel like I belong here too

The biggest gift I get from you

 

So maybe I picked you out of a crowd

When the world said rescue you

But you rescued me—

But you rescued me

 

Maybe I picked you out of a crowd

When the world said rescue you

But you rescued me—

But you rescued me


 

 

4. ROAD TRIP (DOG VERSION) 

 

Here we go

Oh oh oh
Noses ready for the road
Windows down and our heads are out
Surfing on the breeze

Put the pedal down

 

Road trip

Road trip

Anywhere we wanna go take a dip

Into the river or the beautiful trees

Up on the mountaintop

Where we can see

All of the world stretching out

Wee hee

Road trip

Road trip

Anywhere we wanna go take a dip

Into the the river or the BEAUTIFUL TREES

Up on the mountain top

Where WE ARE FREE

 

[Mouth horns]  

 

Chasing sticks – ay ee ay

Any time we want to play

Long as we’re together

With a little fine weather

No set limit

Flying light as a feather

 

Road trip

Road trip

Anywhere we wanna go take a dip

Into the river or the beautiful trees

Up on the mountaintop

Where we can see

All of the world stretching out

Wee hee

Road trip

Road trip

Anywhere we wanna go take a dip

Into the the river or the BEAUTIFUL TREES

Up on the mountain top

Where WE ARE FREE

 

[Mouth horns]

Into the the river or the BEAUTIFUL TREES

Up on the mountain top

Where WE ARE FREE

 

[Mouth horns]  

 

And we are HOME… 


 

 

5. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

 

Down down diggy dig down, the doggies got it down

Down down diggy dig down, the doggies got it down

 

When I come into the door

I know my doggie’s waiting for me

There you are, you treat me like a star (boom!)

Whether I deserve it or not

Oh my doggie’s got it…

 

Unconditional love, oh the doggies got it

Unconditional love, oh the doggies got it

How do you do it?

And can you talk me through it – ohh 

Oh, my doggie’s got it down

 

Down down diggy dig down, the doggies got it down

Down down diggy dig down, the doggies got it down

The doggies know what to do, what to do, what to do

The doggies knows what to do, what to do, what to do

 

I can be a grumpy troll

No company for any soul
But you don’t fail

To wag your little tail

To tell me I’m redeemable

It’s unbelievable

 

Unconditional love, oh the doggies got it

Unconditional love, oh the doggies got it

How do you do it?

And can you talk me through it – ohh 

Oh, the doggie got it down

7. THEN YOU WILL RUN FREE (BARER BONES VERSION)

 

What does he hear?

What does he see?

Where does he go?

What does he know?

Flying along

Like life is a song

Only the good dogs know

 

When he hears the call

Reach into his soul

He lets his wild fire go

Smokey will run free

Can you hear it too?

Reaching into you?

Let your inner child through

Then you will run free

Then you will run free——too

 

So many hills

And valleys in life

But that’s where we find

Out what’s inside

The right attitude

Can carry you through

Seems like the good dogs know

 

When he hears the call

Reach into his soul

He lets his wild fire go

Smokey will run free

Can you hear it too?

Reaching into you?

Let your inner child through

Then you will run free

Then you will run free——too

 

Ooh hoo ——

10. SONG ABOUT MY DOG’S FLATULENCE

 

Stuck in the stench of my doggie’s perfume

Even she had the sense to leave

But I don’t know where else I can practice my guitar

So I’ll write a song about my doggy’s flatulence

 

P-U  P-U   

Do you mind?

P-U  P-U   

Do you mind?


 

11. DOGS DOIN’ DISHES

 

Dogs doing dishes

They love doing dishes

“These dishes are delicious”

Say the doggies doing dishes

“And the only thing we wish

As we’re doing all these dishes…

Is the people wouldn’t eat so well

Why they gotta eat so well?”

 

We know you’re trying to eat your dinner

All the colors, like a winner

Maybe you could eat a little less next time?

We know you’re practicing not wasting

Trying everything with patience

Maybe you could leave a little more

For the dogs to try…

 

Dogs doing dishes

They love doing dishes

“These dishes are delicious”

Say the doggies doing dishes

“And the only thing we wish

As we’re doing all these dishes…

Is the people wouldn’t eat so well

Why they gotta eat so…?

Why they gotta eat so…?

Why they gotta eat so well?”

13. DOGNADO

 

There’s a dognado running through my house

Two dogs spinning, goin’ round and round

Playin’ like their puppies, hound over hound…

It’s a two dognado – watch out!

 

Boundin’ round, around they bound

Boundin’ round, around they bound…

 

One dog, two dogs boundin’ round

Then the 3rd dog sleeping on the couch… wakes up!

 

There’s a dognado running through my house

Three dogs spinning, goin’ round and round

Playin’ like their puppies, hound over hound… (over hound!)

It’s a three dognado – watch out!

 

Boundin’ round, around they bound

Boundin’ round, around they bound…

 

One dog, two dogs, three dogs now…

Then the neighbor dog comes to check the scene out

 

There’s a dognado running through my house

Four dogs spinning, goin’ round and round

Playin’ like their puppies

A whole lotta puppies… hound over hound (over hound! over hound!)

It’s a four dognado!

 

It’s a four dognado! Is someone gonna say no?!

Break it up, dognado!

It’s a four dognado – watch out!

 

Boundin’ round, around they bound

Boundin’ round, around they bound…

 

2 x 2, that’s 4 dogs now

Then granny’s toy poodle in her purse pops out!  

 

There’s a dognado running through my house

Five dogs spinning, now they’re crashing around

Somebody stop ‘em!

Can somebody stop ‘em?!

Playin’ like their puppies, hound over hound… (over hound! over hound! over hound!)
 

It’s a five dognado – an inverted fur-cano!

It’s a five dognado – Break it up, I say… NO!

It’s a five dognado…!

It’s a five dognado…!

Look… a squirrel!


 

 

14. RAINBOX - A DOG’S TAKE

 

People going in the Rainbox again

Why they wanna go in there?

Just to wet their little bit of hair?

Yeah, they’re mostly bald

Missing opportunities to play with all…

The toys I’m bringing

Even though they’re singing

I know it can’t be fun in the Rainbox

No, it can’t be fun!

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Every dog knows what the rainbox do

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Wash away the fun, got me smelling like perfume

Ooh ooh — ooh ee ooh ee ooh hoo ooh hoo

 

Run, run, run, run away from the Rainbox!

Run, run, run, run away!

Run, run, run, run away from the Rainbox!

Run, run, run, run away! – Run away!

Run, run, run, run away!

 

Arrgh, rushing into the Rainbox again!

Like you need it every day

You were smelling great

After running to the park with me

Working up an odor that finally

Made me proud as your best friend

Now you’re gonna ruin it!

Take it from me, get out of the Rainbox

Take it from me and get out!

 

Run, run, run, run away from the Rainbox!

Run, run, run, run away!

Run, run, run, run away from the Rainbox!

Run, run, run, run away! – Run away!

Run, run, run, run away!

 

Here come the soap! 

Gonna dash all hopes! 

Yeah, the soap’s coming in

Got my nose in a spin!

Here come the soap! 

Gonna dash all hopes!

Don’t be dope – get out of the Rainbox!

Don’t be dope – and get out! 

 

Run, run, run, run away from the Rainbox!

Run, run, run, run away!

Run, run, run, run away from the Rainbox!

Run, run, run, run away! – Run away!

Run, run, run, run away!


 

15. SOGGY DOGGY TOY (REPRISE)

 

Drop the toy

Drop it — drop the toy

Leave the toy

Leave it — leave the toy

Find a toy

Any other toy

Cause that’s a soggy mess

A soggy soggy mess
