104 Songs #7 – “Letter from Hampton (I’m a Husky)” (ORIGINAL #2)
Here’s song #7 for 104 Songs, an original ditty written from the perspective of Hampton the Husky, who knows he’s #2 in my heart to Pablo the mutt, and he’s trying to convince me to bump him up in the rankings. LYRICS BELOW…
This is Hampton’s response to “Letter from Pablo”: http://www.roblambert.com/music/zabada-the-album/letter-from-pablo/
Thanks to John McConda for the “Letter from Hampton” suggestion and thanks to Mary, she would probably get a 10% songwriting credit on this one!
LYRICS
Hey Rob, didja know?
Hey Rob, didja know?
I’m a husky!
Prettiest dog you’ve seen!
I’m a husky!
I’m better than a honey bun,
Prettier than Scarlett Johansson
’cause I’m a husky!
Hey Rob, didja know?
Hey Rob, didja know?
I’m a husky!
I’m a working dog!
I’m a husky!
Take me out and let me run!
I’m a working dog, I’m second-to-none!
I’m a husky!
I’m better than a foot massage
Prettier than girls on Entourage
Im tastier than blueberry pie
*way* more fun than a stick in the eye.
I’m a husky!
Hey Rob, didja know?
Hey Rob, didja know?
I’m a husky!
I’m softer than a velvet glove!
I’m a husky!
My fur makes me oh so proud!
I’m soft as silk or a puffy cloud,
‘Cause I’m a husky!
Hey Rob, didja know?
Hey Rob, didja know?
I’m a husky!
I’m better than a UFO!
I’m a husky!…
I’ve got flower-scented, number two,
I’d eat my poo, if I were you!
I’m a husky!
Have you seen my husky eyes?
Have you seen my husky thighs?
Have you seen my husky nose?
Have you seen my husky toes?
I’m a husky!
Hey Rob, do you know?
About the Iditarod?
Those are huskies
Running thru the snow
Those are huskies!
1000 miles, from Willow to Nome!
Sleepin in, cold eskimo domes!
those are huskies!
and I’m a husky!
Hey Rob, didja know?
Frank Zappa has a song…
About huskies!
And Nanook, dontcha know?
And some huskies!
“WATCH OUT WHERE THE HUSKIES GO
AND DON’T YOU EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW”
Those are huskies!
And I’m a husky!
I’m better than a foot massage
Prettier than girls on Entourage
Im tastier than blueberry pie
*way* more fun than a stick in the eye.
I’m a husky!
With warm regards,
Hampton
For those not familiar with the Frank Zappa reference:
Awesome. Uma and I enjoyed it very much. I think she would love to meet this amazing husky.
Cool, thanks Anil … I’ve heard others say that they’re playing this one for their kids … maybe kids songs should be my niche … I’d have to do some editing to say, “Don’t Sh*t Where You Eat” … I bet the kids would love it if I just changed it to “Don’t Poo Where You Eat”

Great! I like the contrast between Pablo’s loyalty and Hampton’s narcissism. “Girls from Entourage” is my favorite line.
Glad you like, John… thanks for the suggestion for this one… donno why I never thought of “Letter from Hampton” … I think I’m gonna trim a little fat from this one before I make the final studio version … “Girls from Entourage” is my favorite too, other than “Better than a UFO” which was Mary’s major contribution, by the way!
Hey Rob didya know this is very cute. reminds me my sons like dogs alot. From the dog’s point of view – clever. hurray for huskies. Jim Hermann
