Lyrics

Open up the doghouse Open up the doghouse Rover, Rover, move it over Two cats are comin' in Nat, you look like a man with a story, I sure have I told my wife we oughta save money That's the way it's gotta be, oh gotta, gotta be that way She cancelled all her charge accounts, gave all the gold to me Well, I can't see what you did wrong Why was your woman so upset? Well, I put the money on a horse And he hasn't showed up yet Open up the doghouse Open up the doghouse Rover, Rover, move it over Two cats are comin' in Well, Dean, what's your problem? Here it is I gave my wife a beautiful fur coat, you did? Told her it was genuine mink, rich man I took her out to show it off Then we stopped in for a drink, oh cocktails Well, I know your wife was really thrilled How come you two had a spat? Oh, it's easy, you see It started to rain, the coat got wet And mink just don't smell like that Timber Open up the doghouse Open up the doghouse Rover, Rover, move it over Two cats are comin' in Let's hear it, Nat, you know what You know what though What? There's just one way to handle a woman Dean, we just got to treat 'em rough We gotta slap 'em, that's right We gotta show 'em who wears the pants Cut out that sissy, sissy stuff Now it ain't no use to take abuse Whenever they are cranky or cross Let's put the women in their place And we'll show them who's the boss Open up the doghouse Two cats are comin' in
