That old stray hound dog by the meat market now Lickin' his chops for some greasy chow Top sirloin, pork chops, New York cut Salisbury ground 'round, hangin' 'round downtown Dropped out of school, naturally cool Liftin' his leg on a fireplug With greasy gravy drippings and the gristle on his mug Stray dog, help yourself Now he's scratchin' his a**, he be swattin' them flies Gettin' involved with his dinnertime, and that's no lie
I said, stray dog, be cool boy, go on pull your caper Usin' yesterday's paper for a table cloth That old stray hound dog by the meat market now Lickin' his chops for some greasy chow And if they catch him on a trash can bin Stray dog, help yourself Catch him on a trash can bin Stray dog, help yourself Stray dog, help yourself
