Hound dog man, hound dog man
I wanna be a hound dog man

And every time I go
She gonna miss-a me more and more
She's gonna have a tear in her eye
The time's gonna pass so slow

That's the kind of life for me
A-there's one thing I wanna be, and that's a

Hound dog man, hound dog man
I wanna be a hound dog man

Hound dog man, hound dog man
I wanna be a hound dog man

Hound dog man
