Out to the doghouse with you, that's what she said You've been inside too long now, I must clean the mess Go in the backyard will you, practice your tricks Go take yourself for a walk, you make me sick You're just a doggy, in a snap you're fetching the bone And you're barking when she calls You're hiding behind the fence, you've been disobedient Your fun and playfulness is so very becoming But she has got you by the reins, and there is no running Conditioned to salivate at the first sound of the bell Feeding you the remains of yesterday's meal Can you hear her calling from within the house? You're just a doggy, in a snap you're fetching the bone And you're barking when she calls You're hiding behind the fence, you've been disobedient Shape up boy! Can you hear her calling, from within the house? If you would stop barking, she might let you out At last she opens the back gate, You're released, you're now free to roam You've been waiting for this moment For sometime and now you must go Into the fields where there is laughter, There is peace and you're Comfortable Try to hold on now before she calls you home! You're in the doghouse 'Cause you're just a dog!
