How Come My Dog Don't Bark[00:00:01]
(When You Come Around) (LP Version) -Dr. John[00:00:02]
Now you say you ain’t never met my wife,[00:00:19]
You ain’t never seen her before,’[00:00:21]
Say you ain’t been hangin’ roun’ my crib;[00:00:24]
Well here’s somethin’ I wanna know…[00:00:27]
I wanna know what in the worl’ is goin’ down,[00:00:29]
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?[00:00:32]
I got the baddest dog, he’ll bite anybody.[00:00:37]
He bit my little brother,[00:00:41]
Took a chunk out of my ol’ sweet li’l mother.[00:00:43]
He bit the mailman – he sees him every day;[00:00:46]
He takes one look at you, he wanna jump up and play.[00:00:50]
Now I ain’t got a clue as to[00:00:54]
What you puttin’ down, but[00:00:57]
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?[00:00:59]
My dog’s dangerous; tried to set people straight;[00:01:04]
I even bought a “BAD DOG”[00:01:08]
Sign an’ hung it on the gate.[00:01:10]
Here you come trippin’ up ‘bout a quarter of nine[00:01:13]
Fulla dat Night Train wine,[00:01:16]
Tryin’ to slide past the sign…[00:01:18]
My dog been noddin’ off, ain’t payin’ you no mind.[00:01:22]
That’s my dog, when I come home[00:01:26]
He don’t sleep THAT sound![00:01:29]
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?[00:01:31]
I still don’t like it,[00:01:35]
I don’t dig it one damn bit,[00:01:37]
The way you an’ my dog’s so tight,[00:01:39]
Somethin’ don’t fit![00:01:41]
I slipped through the alley, I called my dog,[00:01:43]
Said, “get off your rusty duster,[00:01:47]
Move a little faster to your ol’ master,[00:01:50]
You old cayute, you.”[00:01:53]
He took one look at me,[00:01:55]
An’ he growled an’ he ran straight to you.[00:01:57]
Now somebody’s been confusin’ my po’ hound.[00:02:02]
An I wanna know what’s goin’ down.[00:02:07]
How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?[00:02:11]
(Clarinet Solo)[00:02:15]
Maybe I better call up Jacoby & Myers,[00:02:24]
An’ you can take the fifth, amendment, that is.[00:02:28]
You better stand up fo’ your rights,[00:02:33]
‘cause you might not be standin' too long.[00:02:35]
I’m gonna stop all this confusion.[00:02:38]
I’m gon’ fire that hound., shoot that dog down.[00:02:40]
Then I’m gonna get busy mutilatin, s[00:02:45]
Trangulatin’ operatin’,[00:02:49]
An’ crematin’ my Ol’[00:02:51]
Lady down at the cremation station.[00:02:54]
Then I’m gonna torch that, too,[00:02:56]
And come right on after you![00:02:58]
You can give you heart an’ soul to charity;[00:03:01]
All the rest gonna belong to me.[00:03:04]
I’m goin’ straight down to dat barber supply shop,[00:03:07]
Get me a pearl handle, double edge, hollow ground,[00:03:11]
Super blue blade, adjustable,[00:03:16]
Stainless steel, honed edge,[00:03:19]
Both blades on the same side so when I cut you once,[00:03:22]
You gonna bleed twice, goin’ an’ comin’[00:03:26]
An’ if you don’ believe me,[00:03:31]
Shake yo’ head;[00:03:33]
It’ll be singin’ “I ain’t got no body.”[00:03:34]
‘Cause one night I did a little[00:03:38]
FBI Double-O-Seven-type investigatin’.[00:03:40]
You an’ my Ol' Lady thought I was gone,[00:03:44]
But I wasn’t gone.[00:03:46]
Dat’s why I have to separate you from your ground.[00:03:48]
An the only soun’ you gonna hear[00:03:52]
When you six feet in the ground:[00:03:55]
How come my dog didn’t bark when you came around?[00:04:02]
