HOUN' DOG
(Leiber / Stoller / Burns / Haynes)


Homer & Jethro - 1966


You're a beauty, little Houn' Dog
You ain't very stout
You're a beauty, little Houn' Dog
You ain't very stout
Well, you look like an Airedale
With the air let out

Well, you said you was a-high class
That you had a pedigree
Well, you said you was a-high class
That you had a pedigree
You ain't nothin' but a mongrel
And you got a million fleas

Well, they said you was a bird dog
But you look like a goat
Well, they said you was a bird dog
But you look like a goat
But you couldn't be a bird dog
You ain't never sung a note

Now once I had a Houn' Dog
And her name was Kim
Now once I had a Houn' Dog
And her name was Kim
She ain't never had a puppy
So I got rid o' him
