It has been a long year for all of us. Who hasn’t added an extra pound or two? I dedicate my latest song to all the pups out there, who are getting told by their vets that they need to go on a diet. Thank you Taffy for daring me to write a parody of Poison’s “Unskinny Bop,” and congratulations on achieving your weight loss goals. May all the pups singing along to this post be inspired to dance off those extra pounds too!

Pup, what’s got you so jumpy?
Why can’t you sit still, yeah?
The vet tech just wants to weigh you
And see if you had treats ’til you’re filled, yeah

After the long winter, you got fat
You wanna eat treats and never stop
Lookin’ for more, you sniff ’round the floor
What’s been going on in that head of yours?

Unskinny Pup
Just needs to lose weight, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup
Begs all night and day, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup, Pup, Pup
You need to run and play
Unskinny Pup, nothin’ more to say

You look at me so hungry
Love a bite of my lunch right now
You got too many treats in your tummy
Am I just another treat dispenser, yeah, yeah?

Every time I treat you, you get fat
You wanna eat snacks and never stop
Lookin’ for more, you sniff ’round the floor
What’s been going on in that head of yours?

Unskinny Pup
Just needs to lose weight, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup
Begs all night and day, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup, Pup, Pup
You need to run and play
Unskinny Pup, nothin’ more to say

You’re sayin’ I’m starvin’ you, yeah
But that ain’t hunger written on your face
Well, puppy I can see right through ya
Yeah, who’s beggin’ food at the end of the day?

What’s right?
What’s wrong?
What snack?
What the TREAT is going on?!

Unskinny Pup
Just needs to lose weight, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup
Begs all night and day, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup, Pup, Pup
You need to run and play

I didn’t drop anything on the floor!

Unskinny Pup
You look good, look good, look good, look good
Unskinny Pup, Pup
Needs to lose weight, yeah
Unskinny Pup, Pup, Pup, Pup
You look good, look good, look good, look good
Unskinny Pup!
