Good Dog Gone Bad BluesIf a dog bites my legEvery time we meetWell I’d be silly, yes I wouldTo keep walking down that streetAnd if that dog gets nastyAnd follows me aroundWell I’d have to call somebody upTo put him in the pound

CHORUSWhat makes a cute little puppyGet the good dog gone bad blues?You can write it, read it, any way yousee itEverything about it is bad newsWhat makes a cute little puppyGet the good dog gone mad blues?Well that mean ol’ dog better gethimself togetherCos the other little puppies just shotthrough

And if that dog was sometimes nastyAnd sometimes very niceWell I’d let someone else mind himAnd visit once or twiceAnd if that dog would tell meThat it’s my fault that he’s meanWell I’d have to say‘Oh Mister, that’s the meanest bite I’veseen’
