Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Well I came home tired from a long hard day Kicked off my boots, the dog wanted to play Sat in my chair, turned on the TV set But that crazy dog of mine, he ain’t done yet He started shakin’ like a jukebox groove Got that look like he’s about to make a move Next thing I know he’s clingin’ to my jeans Actin’ like he’s in some doggone dream Chorus Whoa-oh, that dog of mine Gets a little too friendly from time to time Everybody laughin’, sayin’ “He don’t beg!” When that rascal starts dancin’ with my leg Verse 2 Grandma hollered from the kitchen door “Boy, I seen that dog do that before!” Neighbor started crackin’ up at the sight Said “Looks like he wants to dance tonight!” I tried shooin’ him, tried to walk away But that hound just thought it was a game we play Clingin’ tighter than a brand new glove Guess that mutt’s just full of puppy love Chorus Whoa-oh, that dog of mine Gets a little too friendly from time to time Whole porch rockin’, folks tellin’ me to beg “Somebody stop him from huggin’ my leg!” Bridge (doo-wop style) Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, somebody save me please That dog’s got a grip like a summer breeze Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, Lord above He’s a little too fired up with puppy love Verse 3 Now the preacher laughed on Sunday morn Said “Son, that dog’s just high-spirited and warm” Whole town still chuckles when I come around Say “Is he still dancin’ with your leg, or has he calmed down?” But he’s my buddy, loyal and true Just gets a little overexcited like dogs can do So if you visit, take my advice Don’t stand still… and don’t look too nice Final Chorus Whoa-oh, that dog of mine Gets a little too friendly from time to time Town still laughin’, sayin’ “That dog won’t beg!” Ever since he first wrapped around my leg Outro (spoken 50s style) “Somebody grab that dog before he starts dancin’ again!”
