[Intro]
Red light, black leather
Good pups gone bad together
Ruff leaves his shame outside the door
He knows what he came here for
[Verse 1]
A collar shines beneath the ultraviolet
A corgi in the mirror’s ready to ignite it
Every rainbow color disappears into the dark
Till the room becomes a kennel full of tails and teeth and heart
Ruff was never made for sitting when the rhythm tells him “run”
He can follow every order, but misbehaving’s half the fun
Hood up high and hungry, leave your worries at the door
When the bass begins to growl, get down on all fours
[Pre-Chorus]
Good boys know just what to do
Bad dogs make you want them to
Pull the leash and take your time
Then let the whole pack cross the line
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Bad Dogs Club
Where the bass hits hard and the tails go up
No shame, no fear, just sweat and love
Everybody’s wanted in the Bad Dogs Club
We bark, we bite, we beg, we play
We lose our names and dance away
Good boys fall when the beat comes up
And wake up bad in the Bad Dogs Club
[Drop]
Ruff, Ruff—get down
Ruff, Ruff—turn around
Paws on the floor when the bass goes thump
Welcome to the Bad Dogs Club
[Verse 2]
There’s a dark room in the corner where the red lights barely glow
Ruff follows someone growling like he knows just where to go
When they tell him there’s a bone there, he takes them at their word
Drops down on all fours and acts like he never heard
Let somebody hold his leash while he goes hunting through the pack
When they smile and tell him, “Fetch it,” he may never bring it back
Every tag becomes an invite, every glance becomes a dare
Every puppy finds a place when all the bad dogs gather there
[Pre-Chorus]
Good boys know just what to do
Bad dogs make you want them to
Pull the leash and take your time
Then let the whole pack cross the line
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Bad Dogs Club
Where the bass hits hard and the tails go up
No shame, no fear, just sweat and love
Everybody’s wanted in the Bad Dogs Club
We bark, we bite, we beg, we play
We lose our names and dance away
Good boys fall when the beat comes up
And wake up bad in the Bad Dogs Club
[Bridge]
We are leather, lace and neon
We are every shade of free
We are puppies finding pleasure
In the pups we came to be
We are chosen, we are wanted
We are louder than our fear
If you’ve ever felt like hiding
There’s a home for you in here
[Build]
Lose your shame
Find your pack
Cross that line
Don’t look back
Good pup
Bad pup
Come as you are
Every dog can be a star
[Final Chorus]
Welcome to the Bad Dogs Club
Where the bass hits hard and the tails go up
Queer joy burning like the stars above
Everybody’s wanted in the Bad Dogs Club
We bark, we bite, we beg, we play
We love each other our own damn way
Good boys fall when the beat comes up
And live out loud in the Bad Dogs Club
[Outro]
Ruff, Ruff—get down
Hoods high, tails up
Paws on the floor when the bass goes thump
Welcome to the Bad Dogs Club
