(Verse 1) No homework, no curfews, no slammed bedroom doors, No asking for money or messy old chores. Just a ball to throw and a leash to hold, Our fur child’s the treasure worth more than gold! (Chorus) She don’t need college, no fancy car, No late-night calls from the ER. She’s cheaper to feed and never talks back, Our fur child’s got all that the others lack. (Verse 2) She’s always excited, no teenage mood, She’s thrilled with a treat, not picky with food. No school fees, no rebellion phase, Just a wag of her tail that brightens our days. (Chorus) She don’t need college, no fancy car, No late-night calls from the ER. She’s cheaper to feed and never talks back, Our fur child’s got all that the others lack. (Bridge) Rick’s in the garden, and she’s by his side, Jane’s on the couch, Hera’s along for the ride. No phone calls at midnight, no drama to spare, Just a snuggle at dusk in her favorite chair. (Verse 3) The kids cost a fortune, gave us gray hair, Hera costs kibbles, and she doesn’t swear. She’s loyal, she’s loving, she’s happy to stay, Our fur child’s the joy that won’t drift away. (Chorus) She don’t need college, no fancy car, No late-night calls from the ER. She’s cheaper to feed and never talks back, Our fur child’s got all that the others lack. (Outro) So here’s to Hera, the queen of the house, She’s softer and sweeter than any ol’ spouse. She’s our little blessing, our joy, our guide, Our fur child forever, by our side.
