My Dog Is Mean Lyrics - Memphis Slim

How come my dog's so calm 

Man, whenever you're on the scene? 

How come my dog's so calm 

Man, whenever you're on the scene? 

Man I just can't understand it 

'Cause I know my dog is mean 

Well, he bit my next door neighbor 

Bit my father too 

Growl at my mummy 

Ate up my own shoe 

How come my dog's so calm 

Man, whenever you're on the scene? 

Man I just can't understand it 

'Cause I know my dog is mean 

You've been coming around my house 

When my wife is all alone 

No, you don't know voodoo 

My dog don't like no bone 

How come my dog's so calm 

Man, whenever you're on the scene? 

Man I just can't understand it 

'Cause I know my dog is mean 

Well, I've got a good watch dog 

With me he never failed 

But every time you come around, boy 

He just sit and wag his tail 

How come my dog's so calm 

Man, whenever you're on the scene? 

Man I just can't understand it 

'Cause I know my dog is mean 

Now, he can see like an owl 

He can hear you drop a pin 

But what I want to know, boy 

How the hell, did you get in? 

How come my dog's so calm 

Man, whenever you're on the scene? 

Man I just can't understand it 

'Cause I know my dog is mean
