Oh Tennis Ball

Hello. This is The Daily Bone and I'm your jocular doggie reporter Chester L. W. Spaniel.


I got a beautiful Christmas card from my dearest Princess Leah! Wow! Isn't she gorgeous? She wrote a little note wishing me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (She should be getting a card from me pretty soon too.)



I can't wait to see her at the Blogville 2017 New Years Eve Bash!


I have a Christmas song I made up a few years ago. I think the time is right to hear it again!


So I will now regale you with my rendition of  "Oh Tennis Ball."
(Sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree.) 


Verse 1
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything.
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite play thing.


So round and fuzzy, green and bright. I love you morning, noon, and night.
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything.


Verse 2
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything.
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything.


You're always bouncing down the stairs, and rolling under Daddy's chair.
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, how can you do this to me?


Verse 3
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you drive me to distraction.
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you drive me to distraction.


'Cause I can never reach you where, you're hiding under Mommy's chair.
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you drive me to distraction.

Verse 4
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, wherever do you wander?
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, wherever do you wander?


You're hiding under every chair, communing with the dirt and hair,


Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, wherever do you wander? 


Verse 5
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, now you're not going anywhere
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, now you're not going anywhere


I caught you and your brothers too, and now I'll keep an eye on you
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball,  now you're not going anywhere.


Verse 6
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything


I love to roll you down the stairs, and where you end up I don't care. 
Oh tennis ball, oh tennis ball, you are my favorite plaything.


(Here we go again … )

  9. That is a lovely song, C. It sure does have a lot of verses, but I certainly understand how there's so much to say about a tennis ball.

    Love and licks,
