Businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who has risen in the Republican presidential primary after outperforming her competitors two debates in a row, appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Monday evening with a little song prepared. The lyrics, however, weren't about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, or the constitutionality of having a Muslim in the White House — although she touched on those topics in other segments. Rather, the song was about, and for, her dogs.
"I want to talk about Snickers and Max," Fallon prompted after bringing up the fact that Carly Fiorina sings to her grandkids.
"Yes," Fiorina explained, "I have two dogs, Snickers and Max, they're Yorkshire terriers. But I have to explain: I make up songs. My mother and I used to sing together all the time and I sing to my granddaughters." Shortly thereafter, she confidently grabs the mic and breaks out in song.

"My names Snick and I'm lazy, please don't take a walk with me," Fiorina jams to the tune of "Rock Around the Clock." "I'd rather stay right here at home instead, I want to lie back down in my nice warm bed."
