Lyrics

[Chorus]

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Been snoopin' 'round my door

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Been snoopin' 'round my door

You can wag your tail

But I ain't gon' feed you no more

[Verse 1]

You told me you was high-class

But I could see through that

Yes, you told me you was high-class

But I could see through that

And daddy, I know

You ain't no real cool cat

[Chorus]

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Been snoopin' 'round my door

You're just an old hound dog

Been snoopin' 'round my door

You can wag your tail

But I ain't gon' feed you no more

Oh, play that thing, boy

[Verse 2]

Ah, listen, that them old hound dog

Lord, play it, it's alright up in here

Now listen to how that that old hound dog howl

Ooh

Ah, play it, boy, play it

Ah, you make me feel good

Ah, do that mess around, I love that way you do

Now wag your tail

Ah, get it

Ah, get it now, get it, get it, get it

Ah, you old hound dog

[Verse 3]

You made me feel so blue

You made me weep and moan

You made me feel so blue

Well, you made me weep and moan

'Cause you ain't lookin' for a woman

All you lookin' is for a home

[Chorus]

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Quit snoopin' 'round my door

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Quit snoopin' 'round my door

You can wag your tail

But I ain't gonna feed you no more, oh!
