<p>We had to suffer through this song repeatedly in my third grade
music class, and it surfaces in my memory occasionally like PTSD.
<i>Dogies</i> does not sound like <i>doggies;</i> the first
syllable <i>do</i> rhymes with the word <i>so</i> (and the
Klingon syllable <b>Do</b>).</p>
<p><i>Whoopee ti yi yo, git along little dogies!<br>
It's your misfortune and none of my own.<br>
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies!<br>
You know that Wyoming will be your new home.</i></p>
<p>Since this is the only context in which anyone remembers the word
<i>dogies</i> nowadays, I have no doubt that Okrand was thinking
about this song when he invented the word.<br>
