You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Benn snoopin' round the door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag you tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You told me you was high class
But I could see through that
Yes, you told me you was high class
But I could see through that
And daddy I know
You ain't no real cool that
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Benn snoopin' round the door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag you tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
Well you made me weep and moan
'Cause I'm looking for a woman
All your lookin' for is a home
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Benn snoopin' round the door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag you tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
