How come my dog don't bark whenever you are on the scene? You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean Now you been comin' around to my house When my wife was all alone Talkin' all kinds of trash Throwin' my dog a bone How come my dog don't bark whenever you are on the scene? You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean He bit my next door neighbor He bit my father too Growled at my dear mother Ate up my old shoe Now how come that dog ain't barkin' whenever you are on the scene? You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean Now he can see like an owl He can hear you drop a pin But what I'd like to know Is how the hell did you get in? Now how come that dog don't bark whenever you are on the scene? You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean Now you been comin' around to my house My wife was all alone Talkin' all kinds of trash And throwin' my dog a bone Now how come my dog ain't barkin' whenever you are on the scene? You know I just can't understand it, 'cause I know that hound is mean
