Lyrics

There's a big dog barking at the end of the street,
Got a mighty loud mouth and four little feet.
Says he owns the sidewalk, says he owns the town,
But every time there's trouble, that dog's nowhere around.
Got his chest puffed out and his tail held high,
Growling at the moon like he owns the sky.
He'll wake up the neighbors, keep 'em up all night,
But everybody knows he ain't looking for a fight.
[Chorus]
All bark, no bite,
Making big noise in the middle of the night.
Showing those teeth, putting on a show,
But when it's time to deliver, he's the first one to go.
All bark, no bite,
Howling at the moon like he's always right.
He can growl, he can snarl, he can put up a fight,
But that old dog's all bark, no bite!
There's a pack of old hounds hanging 'round the gate,
Sniffing out trouble, always running late.
They promise to protect you, keep the wolves away,
But they're sleeping in the shade when the wolves come to play.
They'll fight over bones that ain't even their own,
Then bury 'em deep where they can't be shown.
Every dog wants to be the leader of the pack,
But they're chasing their tails while the wolves attack.
All bark, no bite,
Making big noise in the middle of the night.
Showing those teeth, putting on a show,
But when it's time to deliver, he's the first one to go.
All bark, no bite,
Howling at the moon like he's always right.
He can growl, he can snarl, he can put up a fight,
But that old dog's all bark, no bite!
There's a little old terrier with a mighty big yap,
Always setting off somebody else's trap.
He'll chase you to the fence, then turn and run,
Come back tomorrow like he's already won.
He's got a fancy collar and a shiny gold tag,
Struts around the yard like he's waving a flag.
But the minute that somebody opens up the gate,
He's hiding underneath the porch, saying, "Maybe we should wait."
They dig a lot of holes,
But they never plant a thing.
They howl about the weather,
But they never stop the rain.
They guard an empty doghouse,
While the backyard falls apart.
Got a whole lot of thunder,
But not a lot of heart.
[Final Chorus – Explosive, Full Band, Gang Vocals]
ALL BITE, NO BARK!
Now we're leaving our mark!
No more growling in the shadows,
No more hiding in the dark!
ALL BITE, NO BARK!
Time to show a little spark!
You can howl about your power,
But the truth will leave its mark!
[Outro – Driving Guitar Riff, Hammond B3, Gang Vocals]
ALL BITE! NO BARK!
ALL BITE! NO BARK!
[Big Band Stop]
[Spoken – Sarcastic Male Voice]
"Well... looks like somebody finally grew some teeth!"
