Who put the doggy in the doghouse?
You did, baby, you did
Who put your granny in the grannyhouse?
You did, baby, you did, baby
Who put the bad in the madhouse?
You did, baby, you did
Who put that junk in the junkhouse?
You did, baby, you did, baby
Keep your eye on things while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Don't you try everything while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Who put the fun in the funhouse?
You did, baby, you did
Who put your dad in the halfhouse?
You did, baby, you did, baby
Who put the boys in the clubhouse?
You did, baby, you did
Who put the cat in the cathouse?
You did, baby, you did, baby
Keep your eye on things while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Don't you try everything while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Keep your eye on things while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Who dug the hole in the outhouse?
You did, baby, you did
Who put Whitey in the white house?
You did, baby, you did, baby
Keep your eye on things while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Don't you try everything while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
Keep your eye on things while I'm gone
Keep a lid on things
