Ray Stevens - Back in the Doghouse Again lyrics

Do do-de-do do do do-de-do Do do-de-do do Yeah The other morning I was crawlin' home Made it about halfway across the lawn Just paused beneath the begonias there to rest my hands and knees Mindin' my own business laying there in the snow When my wife walks out says she'd like to know What I thought I was doin' in the shrubbery At a quarter past three I said, "Honey, I'd love to tell you But I'm sworn to secrecy! Yeah! It's got something to do with night maneuvers And national security! Heh heh!" Well, then I watched her swell up like a toad And put both hands on her hips Then squinched up those little beady eyes And pooched out that bottom lip And I knew that I was (Chorus) Back in the doghouse again! Sleepin' with my flea-covered friend Oh, move it over Rover! Looks like I'm movin' in! Back in the doghouse again! Do do-de-do do do do-de-do Do do-de-do do So I told that woman, "You know what's wrong witchu? You never think of the good things I do! Like how I leave my dirty clothes all spread out on the floor there so easy to see? Yeah, you know how you worry about gettin' fat? Ain't I always there to help you out with that? Well, how many times have you heard me say, 'Better slow down Porky, looks like you're puttin' on a few pounds to me! Heh' Yeah, and the night you changed that flat tire, didn't I stand there and hold the light? And you want to make a big fuss about me comin' in a little late at night? Huh!" Well, I must've said somethin' wrong 'Cause she put both hands on her hips And then she rolled her eyes, and stamped her foot And pooched out that bottom lip And heaven only knows why, but I was (Chorus) Back in the doghouse again! Yeah, I spent more time in there than Rin Tin Tin! Yeah, I keep on tryin' to please her But then I do somethin' dumb and then It's back in the doghouse again! (Spoken) Move over there boy and let me in there. Whew! Boy, have you got Alpo breath tonight! Gotta get you some of them chloraphyl dog biscuits! Chase cars? Naw, I don't wanna chase cars again tonight. Remember what happened last time? We caught one! Yeah, almost k**ed me! Ran over me twice! Pa** me that bone there, would'ya?
