HOUND DOG
(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
WILLIE MAE 'BIG MAMA' THORNTON (Peacock 1612, 1953)

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snooping 'round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snooping 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more

You told me you was high classed
But I can see through that
Yes, you told me you were high classed
But I can see through that
And daddy I know
You ain't no real cool cat

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Quit snooping 'round my door
You're just a old hound dog
Been snooping 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
(Owh, play that thing, boy!)

[Spoken]
Oh, listen to that old hound dog, oow-oow
Ah, play that thing, I'm right up here
Now listen to that old hound dog howl, ooow
Ah, play it boy, play it
Ah, you make me feel good
Oh, do that mess around, I love ya!
Now wag your tail
Ah, get it!
Ah, get it now, get it, get it, get it
Oh, you know how I love ya

You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
Baby, you made me weep and moan
'Cause you ain't looking for a woman
All you looking is for a home

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Quit snooping 'round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snooping 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more

Oow-ooooow...
