Now you say you ainât never met my wife, you ainât never seen her befo,â
Say you ainât been hanginâ rounâ my crib; well hereâs somethinâ I wanna knowâ¦
I wanna know what in the worlâ is goinâ down,
How come my dog donât bark when you come around?
I got the baddest dog, heâll bite anybody.
He bit my little brother, took a chunk out of my olâ sweet liâl mother.
He bit the mailman â he sees him every day; he takes one look at you, he wanna jump up and play.
Now I ainât got a clue as to what you puttinâ down, but
How come my dog donât bark when you come around?
My dogâs dangerous; tried to set people straight;
I even bought a âBAD DOGâ sign anâ hung it on the gate.
Here you come trippinâ up âbout a quarter of nine
Fulla dat Night Train wine, tryinâ to slide past the signâ¦
My dog been noddinâ off, ainât payinâ you no mind.
Thatâs my dog, when I come home he donât sleep THAT sound!
How come my dog donât bark when you come around?
I still donât like it, I donât dig it one damn bit,
The way you anâ my dogâs so tight, somethinâ donât fit!
I slipped through the alley, I called my dog,
Said, âget off your rusty duster, move a little faster to your olâ master, you old cayute, you.â
He took one look at me, anâ he growled anâ he ran straight to you.
Now somebodyâs been confusinâ my poâ hound.
An I wanna know whatâs goinâ down.
How come my dog donât bark when you come around?
(Clarinet Solo)
Maybe I better call up Jacoby & Myers, anâ you can take the fifth, amendment, that is.
You better stand up foâ your rights, âcause you might not be standin' too long.
Iâm gonna stop all this confusion. Iâm gonâ fire that hound., shoot that dog down.
Then Iâm gonna get busy mutilatin, strangulatinâ operatinâ, anâ crematinâ my Olâ Lady down at the cremation station.
Then Iâm gonna torch that, too, and come right on after you!
You can give you heart anâ soul to charity; all the rest gonna belong to me.
Iâm goinâ straight down to dat barber supply shop, get me a pearl handle, double edge, hollow ground, super blue blade, adjustable, stainless steel, honed edge, both blades on the same side so when I cut you once, you gonna bleed twice, goinâ anâ cominâ. Anâ if you donâ believe me, shake yoâ head; itâll be singinâ âI ainât got no body.â
âCause one night I did a little FBI Double-O-Seven-type investigatinâ. You anâ my Ol' Lady thought I was gone, but I wasnât gone. Datâs why I have to separate you from your ground. An the only sounâ you gonna hear when you six feet in the ground:
How come my dog didnât bark when you came around?
