Tune is the kid song, “I love coffee, I love tea, I love boys and boys love me”. Parentheses are before the downbeat. I will see if I can include the Finale NotePad file. Harmony tweaks warmly welcomed.
Three Pound Doggy
Oo oo oo oo

Late that night bout a quarter to four

(Gives the) freedom makes him feel alive
Lil bitty doggy havin his own party
(My) Three Pound Doggy doll.
(You know a) Three Pound Doggy is hard to catch
(Your only) chance is when he stops to scratch
