First saw her in '56
Lys were glowing, we were transfixed
Formed her entourage: were we lunatics?
Made a home with Lys in Rupperswil
Our life: to serve her will
We'd cook gourmet food for her every day
Just a couple who can't refrain from Lys-fuelled craze
We were devoted to Lys
Tickling her was total bliss
Her shimmying when she saw her "friend" Giorgio
She was fierce, an Alpine dream
Sharper nails than Ms. Loreen
She expected us to open up all her doors
We lifted her high on a stage in Bern:
The cheering crowds made her feel affirmed
And we cared for her, when she was infirm
Walking with her down Lugano streets
Deodorizing when her fur coat reeked
Picking hazelnuts out of her muesli
Up at 4am baking pretzel rolls for her cheese
We'd wash her feet in the sink
Laid her down on thick faux mink
And snuggling on our couch in our Swiss château
Fluff her hair out every day
Take her on our holidays
Reassuring her that she's the Queen of them all
We would stroke her when she whined
Scrubbed her teeth until they shined
Now she lives on in our hearts and souls
Lys, our gorgeous golden labrador, so adored
