"Goblin River"
(With apologies to Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini. And, I suppose, to Audrey Hepburn, although she's never looked lovelier.)
Sweet Goblin, constant little friend
Try to apprehend
That squirrel
Your ears perking, your tongue working
Stealing kisses and chickens
You fabulous girl
Two walkers, circling the land
We’re walking paw-in-hand
Carefree
And as all the seasons go ’round
I’m so glad I found
My huckleberry hound, Goblin Foo
And me
(Lyrics by me and Rob!)
Update: Do I hear another call for Goblin Songs? Submit!

I'd be glad to assist, but I am much too busy rewriting songs in praise of our dogs (yes, you're not the only one with that special brand of insanity/love). :)

Sung to the tune of "I Put a Spell on You."
Preferably the Nina Simone version. I picture Goblin
singing this with spinny Sher Khan eyes. Insomnia is
a terrible thing to waste.
I’m a spell named Foo,
And now you’re mine!
(doot-doot doo-doot doo-oo-ooo)
You gotta love the Goblin Foo,
I ain’t lyin’.
Lawd, I ain’t lyin’!
You know I can’t stand squirrels
All runnin’ around.
You know better, Daddy!
I can’t stand ‘em,
Gonna put ‘em down.
(yeah, yeah)
I’m a spell named Foo,
And they’ll be mine!
(all mine)
You gotta love me, love me, love me, love me anyhow!
Don’t you dare try to resist me,
‘Cause you’re mine right now.
You hear me?
I’m a spell named Foo!
And now (doo-bop-um-wop-um-ooo) YOU’RE MIIINE!!!!!

Oh, that was too sweet. If I can carve out some time I will try my hand at this again, though I'm not sure I can match the brilliance of my previous masterpiece.
