I was lying in my bed on a quiet night
Went down to the kitchen to get myself a bite
I reached for the light as I walked in the door
But I tripped and knocked a big old pot
Down on the floor
And then I heard my dog bark
I heard my dog bark
I heard my dog bark
Standing in the dark, I heard my dog bark
Well, he barked so loud that he woke up my cat
I'll bet you know the next thing I heard after that
I heard my cat meow
I heard my cat meow
I heard my cat meow
And standing in the dark, I heard my dog bark
Well, the barking and meowing made my ears say ouch
It woke up my pet horse who sleeps on the couch
I heard my horse neigh
I heard my horse neigh
I heard my cat meow
And standing in the dark, I heard my dog bark.
Well, the noise was so loud that it hurt my head

It woke up my pet lion who sleeps on my bed
I heard my lion roar
I heard my lion roar
I heard my horse neigh
I heard my cat meow
And standing in the dark, I heard my dog bark
It was the loudest noise that there ever was
It woke up my pet bumblebee and he began to buzz
I heard my bee buzz
I heard my lion roar
I heard my horse neigh
I heard my cat meow
And standing in the dark, I heard my dog bark
I put them all to bed all around the house
Soon it was quiet, quiet as a mouse
But then my pet mouse snuck out of his drawer
And he tripped and knocked a big ol' pot on the floor
I heard my dog bark
I heard my dog bark
I heard my dog bark
While standing in the dark, I heard my dog bark
