[00:00:01] How Come My Dog Don't Bark

[00:00:02] (When You Come Around) (LP Version) -Dr. John

[00:00:19] Now you say you ain’t never met my wife,

[00:00:21] You ain’t never seen her before,’

[00:00:24] Say you ain’t been hangin’ roun’ my crib;

[00:00:27] Well here’s somethin’ I wanna know…

[00:00:29] I wanna know what in the worl’ is goin’ down,

[00:00:32] How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?

[00:00:37] I got the baddest dog, he’ll bite anybody.

[00:00:41] He bit my little brother,

[00:00:43] Took a chunk out of my ol’ sweet li’l mother.

[00:00:46] He bit the mailman – he sees him every day;

[00:00:50] He takes one look at you, he wanna jump up and play.

[00:00:54] Now I ain’t got a clue as to

[00:00:57] What you puttin’ down, but

[00:00:59] How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?

[00:01:04] My dog’s dangerous; tried to set people straight;

[00:01:08] I even bought a “BAD DOG”

[00:01:10] Sign an’ hung it on the gate.

[00:01:13] Here you come trippin’ up ‘bout a quarter of nine

[00:01:16] Fulla dat Night Train wine,

[00:01:18] Tryin’ to slide past the sign…

[00:01:22] My dog been noddin’ off, ain’t payin’ you no mind.

[00:01:26] That’s my dog, when I come home

[00:01:29] He don’t sleep THAT sound!

[00:01:31] How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?

[00:01:35] I still don’t like it,

[00:01:37] I don’t dig it one damn bit,

[00:01:39] The way you an’ my dog’s so tight,

[00:01:41] Somethin’ don’t fit!

[00:01:43] I slipped through the alley, I called my dog,

[00:01:47] Said, “get off your rusty duster,

[00:01:50] Move a little faster to your ol’ master,

[00:01:53] You old cayute, you.”

[00:01:55] He took one look at me,

[00:01:57] An’ he growled an’ he ran straight to you.

[00:02:02] Now somebody’s been confusin’ my po’ hound.

[00:02:07] An I wanna know what’s goin’ down.

[00:02:11] How come my dog don’t bark when you come around?

[00:02:15] (Clarinet Solo)

[00:02:24] Maybe I better call up Jacoby & Myers,

[00:02:28] An’ you can take the fifth, amendment, that is.

[00:02:33] You better stand up fo’ your rights,

[00:02:35] ‘cause you might not be standin' too long.

[00:02:38] I’m gonna stop all this confusion.

[00:02:40] I’m gon’ fire that hound., shoot that dog down.

[00:02:45] Then I’m gonna get busy mutilatin, s

[00:02:49] Trangulatin’ operatin’,

[00:02:51] An’ crematin’ my Ol’

[00:02:54] Lady down at the cremation station.

[00:02:56] Then I’m gonna torch that, too,

[00:02:58] And come right on after you!

[00:03:01] You can give you heart an’ soul to charity;

[00:03:04] All the rest gonna belong to me.

[00:03:07] I’m goin’ straight down to dat barber supply shop,

[00:03:11] Get me a pearl handle, double edge, hollow ground,

[00:03:16] Super blue blade, adjustable,

[00:03:19] Stainless steel, honed edge,

[00:03:22] Both blades on the same side so when I cut you once,

[00:03:26] You gonna bleed twice, goin’ an’ comin’

[00:03:31] An’ if you don’ believe me,

[00:03:33] Shake yo’ head;

[00:03:34] It’ll be singin’ “I ain’t got no body.”

[00:03:38] ‘Cause one night I did a little

[00:03:40] FBI Double-O-Seven-type investigatin’.

[00:03:44] You an’ my Ol' Lady thought I was gone,

[00:03:46] But I wasn’t gone.

[00:03:48] Dat’s why I have to separate you from your ground.

[00:03:52] An the only soun’ you gonna hear

[00:03:55] When you six feet in the ground:

[00:04:02] How come my dog didn’t bark when you came around?
