Lyrics

Told you once be fore and I won’t tell you no more, so get down, get down, get down.

You’re a (F7)bad dog, your ba by, but I still (F7)want you a round.

You give me the creeps when you like jump on your feet, to get down, get down, get down.

Keep your (F7)hands to your self, by, I’m strict ly (F7)out of a bounds.

You

Once up on a time I drank a lit tle wine, was as (Gm)hap py as could be, hap py as could be.

Now I’m just like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Ba by, (Cm)what do (Bb)you (Cm)think (C7)you’re do in’ (F#)to (F7)me?

Told you once be fore and I won’t tell you no more, so get down, get down, get down.

You’re a (F7)bad dog, ba by,

but I still (F7)want you ’round, a round.

I still want (F7)you a round,

aye, aye, aye.

I

Aye, aye, aye.

Mm,

Ooh,

(Eb)Bad, (Bb)ba (Eb)by, (Bb)bad (Eb)dog, (Bb)ba (Eb)by.
