WHAT'CHA GONNA DO WITH A DOG LIKE THAT
(Bob Morris)


Susan Raye - 1973


 

What'cha gonna do with a dog like that
He ain't no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off, but he'd just come back
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that

That man of mine he's a no good thing
He went downtown and hocked my wedding ring
Spent all the money 'fore he got back
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that

We've got six kids and one on the way
He lays around the house and he sleeps all day
Always a-wantin' me to scratch his back
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that

What'cha gonna do with a dog like that
He ain't no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off, but he'd just come back
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that

(Instrumental Break)

Came in this mornin' 'bout a half past four
Stubbed his toe and fell through the door
Broke all my dishes chasin' the cat
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that

The roof needs fixin' and it's startin' to rain
The car won't start, there's no gasoline
He's got me livin' in this rundown shack
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that

What'cha gonna do with a dog like that
He ain't no good and that's a well known fact
I'd run him off, but he'd just come back
Now what'cha gonna do with a dog like that
What'cha gonna do with a dog like that
