Verse 1
Murphy’s on the couch where he shouldn’t be,
Takes up all the space but he’s happy as can be,
Yellow fur shining in the afternoon sun,
Too tired to chase a ball, but he still thinks it’s fun.
He waddles to the kitchen when he hears a bag,
Tail going crazy like a victory flag,
Everybody laughs when he squeezes through the door,
Then he comes back asking for a little bit more.
Pre-Chorus
He’s got a big heart and a bigger appetite,
Sleeping all day, barking half the night,
Never met a stranger he didn’t adore,
And somehow every treat leaves him wanting more.
Chorus
Whoa-oh, Murphy you’re a good dog,
Fat yellow buddy and you’re never doing wrong,
Whoa-oh, everybody knows,
You’re the king of the backyard and the ruler of the home.
With your floppy ears and your goofy grin,
Making every bad day better again,
Whoa-oh, Murphy you’re a good dog,
Best friend I’ve ever known.
Verse 2
Got muddy paws tracking dirt on the floor,
Five minutes later we forgive him once more,
He rolls on his back like he owns the whole town,
Looking so proud with his tongue hanging down.
He can’t catch a squirrel and he can’t jump high,
But he watches every bird flying through the sky,
And when the day’s rough and the world feels cold,
He’ll lean against your leg like a blanket made of gold.
Pre-Chorus
He’s got a big heart and a bigger appetite,
Sleeping all day, barking half the night,
Never met a stranger he didn’t adore,
And somehow every treat leaves him wanting more.
Chorus
Whoa-oh, Murphy you’re a good dog,
Fat yellow buddy and you’re never doing wrong,
Whoa-oh, everybody knows,
You’re the king of the backyard and the ruler of the home.
With your floppy ears and your goofy grin,
Making every bad day better again,
Whoa-oh, Murphy you’re a good dog,
Best friend I’ve ever known.
Bridge
And maybe he’s a little round,
Maybe he shakes the whole couch when he lays down,
But every time he looks my way,
I know he’s gonna make my day.
Final Chorus
Whoa-oh, Murphy you’re a good dog,
Fat yellow legend and you’re singing in my song,
Whoa-oh, everybody knows,
You’re the best thing waiting when I finally get home.
With your wagging tail and your loyal soul,
You’re the missing piece that makes us whole,
Whoa-oh, Murphy you’re a good dog,
Best friend I’ve ever known.
Outro
Good dog, Murphy,
Good dog, Murphy,
Fat yellow buddy, yeah you’re one of a kind,
Good dog, Murphy,
Good dog, Murphy,
The best boy anybody could find.
