Hound Dog

Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller [as performed by the Canettes]

(12-bar blues in D)

[melodic piano intro - as long as wanted]
[piano interrupted by singing holler]

You ain't nothin but a hound dog, been snooping round my door
You ain't nothin but a hound dog, been snooping round my door
You can wag your tail but lord I ain't gonna feed you no more

You told me you were high class, but I can see through that
You told me you were high class, but I can see through that
And daddy I know you ain't no real cool cat

You ain't nothin but a hound dog. been snooping round my door
You ain't nothin but a hound dog. been snooping round my door
You can wag your tail but lord I ain't gonna feed you no more

[24-bar piano solo]
[24-bar harp solo]

You made me feel so blue, you made me weep and moan 
You made me feel so blue, you made me weep and moan
'Cause I'm looking for a woman, all your lookin' for is a home

You ain't nothin but a hound dog, been snooping round my door
You ain't nothin but a hound dog, been snooping round my door
You can wag your tail but lord I ain't gonna feed you no more

[24-bar guitar solo]

You ain't nothin but a hound dog, been snooping round my door
You ain't nothin but a hound dog, been snooping round my door
You can wag your tail but lord I ain't gonna feed you no more

[abrupt ending]
