Lyrics
(Folk song)
I have a dog his name is Rags;
He eats so much his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop his tail wig wags
And when he walks, he walks zig zag
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
I love Rags and he loves me!
My dog Rags he loves to play,
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle, he won’t obey,
He always runs the other way.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
I love Rags and he loves me!

Hi Beth – am looking for an mp3 for this song – do you know where this can be purchased? Keep finding different tunes for the song on the internet – but not the version that’s on your blog. Love your version. Its stickier and the kids love enjoy it. Thanks!
Pete,
It’s a fun song, isn’t it? I just added a link (above) to a recording of the song. That’s all I could find.
Good luck!
Beth
I found this one, but I wish it was in unison and not harmony – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efXMKCgZ1eE
and this one video of kids performing it that gives its info as: Enjoy this video of “My Dog Rags” from Lynn Kleiner’s Farm Songs and the Sounds of Moo-sic Book and CD. Here are Lynn’s 4 and 5 year old group performing this at spring Farm-themed concert. The accompaniment is the instrumental track #29 from Farm Songs CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0cPIV_IZJQ
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
