You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time 
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time 
You ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine 
They say you was-a high class, but I could see through that 
You said you was-a high class, but I could see through that 
Ya ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine 
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time 
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time 
You ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine 
You said you was high class, but I could see through that 
You told me you was high class, but I could see through that 
You ain't never caught a rabbit, you ain't no friend of mine 
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time 
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time 
You ain't never caught a rabbit, you ain't no friend of mine 
Now look out there! 
Yeah..Ooo-haha
