Lyrics

Came in last night at half past tenThat baby of mine wouldn’t let me inSo move it on over (move it on over)Move it on over (move it on over)Move over little dog cause the big dog’s moving in
She changed the lock on my front doorMy door key don’t work no moreSo get it on over (move it on over)Scoot it on over (move it on over)Move over skinny dog cause the fat dog’s moving in
The dog house here is mighty smallBut it’s better than no house at allSo ease it on over (move it on over)Drag it on over (move it on over)Move over old dog cause a new dog’s moving in
She told me not to play aroundBut I done let the deal go downSo pack it on over (move it on over)Tote it on over (move it on over)Move over nice dog cause a mad dog’s moving in
She warned me once, she warned me twiceBut I don’t take no one’s adviceSo scratch it on over (move it on over)Shake it on over (move it on over)Move over short dog cause tall dog’s moving in
She’ll crawl back to me on her kneesI’ll be busy scratching fleasSo slide it on over (move it on over)Sneak it on over (move it on over)Move over good dog cause a mad dog’s moving in
Remember pup, before you whineThat side’s yours and this side’s mineSo shove it on over (move it on over)Sweep it on over (move it on over)Move over cold dog cause a hot dog’s moving in
