Wish I Were Born Basil

Wish I were born Basil I'd be a happy dog I'd sit and watch the t.v. whilst Mick would drink his grog I'd go for walks with Marlene and rest most of the day But I am just a human and what hair I've left is gray. Wish I were born Basil my life I would enjoy And I would not have to worry if Mick and Marlene did die As they have willed me all of their possessions I'd be canine millionaire Wish I were born Basil I wouldn't have a care. Wish I were born Basil I'd be a canine God And I would not have to work for the Nash's Alec, Daryl and Rod No need to feel unhappy and life would be a breeze And I'd only know the good times the joy and the heartease. Wish I were born Basil I'd rest most of the day And I'd go for walks with Marlene and with my tennis ball play And while away the evenings sitting watching t.v. Whilst Mick would drink from tinny on sofa next to me.
