The Lyrics
Kristi Noem’s dog actually was named “Cricket”, so this parody opportunity was far too good to pass up.
South Dakota’s where I am from
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
They say I’m heartless and, uh, just scum
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
He gave me trouble and I thought I had
To do what must be done
But ‘cross the land they now think I’m bad
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
Dental promo’s extra income
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
My day job only pays a small crumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I thought that Donald would pick me for Veep
I fear that chance won’t come
‘Cause even he might now think I’m a creep
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
They say I’m heartless and, uh, just scum
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
He gave me trouble and I thought I had
To do what must be done
But ‘cross the land they now think I’m bad
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
Dental promo’s extra income
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
My day job only pays a small crumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I thought that Donald would pick me for Veep
I fear that chance won’t come
‘Cause even he might now think I’m a creep
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb
I shot my dog, now I feel dumb

I saw Kristi Noem on TV yesterday with Margaret Brennan of Face the Nation. All Brennan wanted to talk about was Noem's late canine. The dog was a threat to her children and livestock. So, she shot it. Most anyone who grew up on a farm or ranch would do the same thing. There are parts of the country where children are still more important than dogs. And where people are willing to protect them. I can't fathom why so many people think that Dog is just God spelled backwards.
