Grubby Pup

Grubby Pup is a song from Between the Lions sung by a Woody Guthrie-esque folk singer (voiced by Peter Linz) about his favorite childhood stuffed animal, Grubby Pup. In the song, he sings about no matter what he does with it (mud-puddle jumps, tub scrubbing, and hugging) since he was a young boy, it falls apart. But, even though he's grown up now, he and Grubby Pup are never apart from each other. The segment was animated by Michael Sporn Productions.

Lyrics
(spoken)

One thing I love about Grubby Pup is that his name's got that "uh" U sound in it: Grubby Pup.

Now, here's a little song about him.

Well, I don't lug too much stuff

Just the stuff I need

Plus my dog, Grubby Pup

He's a chum, indeed

Me and my Grubby Pup

Just a hunk o' junk

New and blue when I was two

Now he's looking punk

Oh, Grubby Pup

Hey, Grubby Pup

Sit, Grubby Pup

Stay, Grubby Pup

Puddle-jumped through the mud

And cuddled through the years

Scrubbed with pup in the tub

Till he lost his ears

Left behind at school time

But later on in bed

Snug as a bug in a rug

I hugged him to a shred

(repeat)

Well, mostly now Grubby Pup

Never sees the sun

But just 'cause I'm all grown up

Don't mean love is done

And we still have fun

(spoken)

Good boy.
