How come my dog don't bark whenever you are on the scene?

You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean



Now you been comin' around to my house

When my wife was all alone

Talkin' all kinds of trash

Throwin' my dog a bone



How come my dog don't bark whenever you are on the scene?

You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean



He bit my next door neighbor

He bit my father too

Growled at my dear mother

Ate up my old shoe



Now how come that dog ain't barkin' whenever you are on the scene?

You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean



Now he can see like an owl

He can hear you drop a pin

But what I'd like to know

Is how the hell did you get in?



Now how come that dog don't bark whenever you are on the scene?

You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean



Now you been comin' around to my house

My wife was all alone

Talkin' all kinds of trash

And throwin' my dog a bone



Now how come my dog ain't barkin' whenever you are on the scene?

You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean
