Lyric
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 inShe’s changed the lock on my front doorMy door key don’t fit 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 inThe 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 inShe 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 inShe 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 a tall dog’s moving inShe’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 inRemember pup, before you whineThat side’s yours and this side’s mSo 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
