Hound Dog
Sha Na Na · Other Songs - Sha Na Na
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
They said you were high class, honey that was just a lie
Called you all high class, that was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
They said you were high class, honey that was just a lie
Called you all high class, that was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
