D-DU-UDU
I  know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
 I can't even spell  my name my heads  in such a spin
Today  I tried to eat a steak with a big old table spoon
 You got me chasin  rabbits walkin  on my hands and howlin  at the moon
 Well Sug  I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad
 And then I even went  and lost what little  sense I had
Now  I can't tell the day from night I'm crazy as a loon
 You got me chasin  rabbits pullin  out my hair and howlin  at the moon
 Some friends  of mine asked me to go out on a huntin spree
 Cause there ain't a hounddog in  this state that can hold  a light to me
 I ate  three bones for dinner today I tried to tree a coon
 You got me chasin  rabbits cratchin  fleas and howlin  at the moon
 (Repeat Break)
 I rode  my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass
 I pulled him up and I hollered  whoa and I said fill  him up with gas
 The man  picked up a monkey wrench and wham he changed my tune
 You got me chasin  rabbitts spittin  out teeth and howlin  at the moon
 I never  thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
 But honey baby when  I fell the whole world  must have jarred
I  think I'd quit my doggish ways if I'd take me for your goom
 You got me chasin  rabbitts pickin  out rings and howlin  at the moon
