Franklin Doesn’t Want You to Dance
Liner Notes
“Franklin Doesn’t Want You To Dance” - #fawm 50/90 2024 original song 3
Last year, while visiting our friends in Minnesota, I wrote a song for and with their little dog Peggy. See it here: https://youtu.be/5WDTjrQ0cBk?si=KdGyTMWITrvjPCpO
This year, I had to write a song for Peggy’s brother Franklin, or it wouldn’t be fair. And last night I learned something very important about Franklin that seemed perfect for a lyric. The song came together really quickly. Now I may be considering setting up shop writing custom pet songs…

Lyrics
Whole body wag, he’s sweet,
Tail going mad, and feet,
Pat his back and pet his head,
Get this ball from me, he said
But
Franklin doesn’t want you to dance
Franklin doesn’t want you to dance
Franklin doesn’t want you to dance (no dancing!)
Franklin doesn’t want you to dance
Baby, don’t run, he’ll wait
Maybe just sit and stay
Would you like this boy to bark?
Drive up slowly in your car
CHORUS
Trying his best to be
Just a good dog, you’ll see
Sleek in the sun, how he’s
Up for some fun, but please
CHORUS
No-oh! Franklin doesn’t want you to dance!
