🎶 Lyrics 🎶

Hey Duggee! Hip hooray!

You can win at chess today!

Hey Duggee, just think faster!

Then you’ll be the grand chess master!

Hey Duggee, do your thing!

Remember to protect your king!

Hey Duggee, you’ve got the stones!

To win against Columbo Jones!

Hey Duggee, don’t give up!

You know you’re the smartest pup!

Hey Duggee! Hip hooray!

You can win at chess today!

Hey Duggee, just think faster!

Then you’ll be the grand chess master!
