Now you say you never met my wife you ain't never seen her before
Say you ain't been hangin' 'round my crib? Well, here's somethin' I wanna know
I wanna know what in the world is goin' down
How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
I got the baddest dog he'll bite anybody
He bit my little brother, took a chunk out of my ol' sweet li'l mother
He bit the mailman he sees him every day
He takes one look at you he wanna jump up and play
Now I ain't got a clue as to what you puttin' down, but
How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
My dog's dangerous, tried to set people straight
Even bought a bad dog sign and hung it on the gate
Here you come trippin' up about a quarter to nine
Full of that Night Train wine, tryin' to slide past the sign
My dog been noddin' off, ain't payin' you no mind
That's my dog when I come home, he don't sleep that sound!
How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
I still don't like it, I don't dig it one damn bit
The way you and my dog's so tight somethin' don't fit
I slipped through the alley, I called my dog
Said, "Get off your rusty duster, move a little faster to your ol' master, you old cayute, you."
He took one look at me and he growled and he ran straight to you
Now somebody's been confusin' my po' hound
And I wanna know what's goin' down
How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
Maybe I better call up Jacoby & Myers
And you can take the Fifth Amendment, that is
You better stand up for your rights
'Cause you might not be standin' too long
I'm gonna stop all this confusion
I'm gon' fire that hound. Shoot that dog down
Then I'm gonna get busy mutilatin', strangulatin', operatin'
And crematin' my ol' lady down at the cremation station
Then I'm gonna torch that too and come right on after you
You can give your heart and soul to charity
All the rest gonna belong to me
I'm goin' straight down to that barber supply shop
Get me a pearl handled, 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 goin' and comin'
And if you don't believe me shake yo' head
It'll be singin', "I ain't got nobody."
'Cause one night I did a little FBI, double-O-seven type investigatin'
You and my ol' lady thought I was gone but I wasn't gone
That's why I have to separate you from your ground
And the only sound you gonna hear when you six feet in the ground
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
How come my dog didn't bark when you came around?
