Vaughn Monroe Hound Dog
VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON
LAY BACK YOUR LONG EARS
SING US THAT TUNE
LIFT UP YOUR LONG HEAD
AND BAY AT THE MOON
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON.
MY CROPS ARE ALL RUINED
AND MY 'TATORS HAVE ROT
NO CORN IN THE BIN AND
NO BEANS IN THE POT
AIN'T NO KIND OF TROUBLES
THAT I HAVEN'T GOT
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON
GOT HOLES IN MY SOCKS
AS BIG AS A BARN
CAN'T SEW THEM UP
CAUSE THE DARN THINGS WON'T DARN
CAN'T SEW THEM UP
CAUSE THE DARN THINGS WON'T DARN
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON
(AN ORCHESTRAL INTERVAL. THEN;)
MY HOUND DOG IS WEARY
HIS COAT HAS TURNED GREY
NOW ALL HE'S GOOD FOR
IS TO SCRATCH FLEAS AND BAY
NOW ALL HE'S GOOD FOR
IS TO SCRATCH FLEAS AND BAY
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON
LIFT UP YOU LONG EARS
AND SING YOUR SAD TUNE
LAY BACK YOU LONG EARS
AND BAY AT THE MOON
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON
HOUND DOG, BAY AT THE MOON.
