I whistled at a pretty girl on a corner down town
She saw me when I winked my eye and then she turned around
She came and took me by the arm, I told her I didn't mean no harm
She said to me with a certain kind of scowl

'If you don't mean a thing, don't whistle
If you can't bite, don't growl'

One night, I left the wife at home and went out with the boys
I was actin' like a dumb one and makin' a lot of noise
A go-go girl hold my hand, I said, 'I can't, I'm a married man'
She said, 'If you ain't gonna steal, you better not crawl'

Don't do-si-do with a go-go
If you can't bite, don't growl

I went home to the little wife and grabbed her at the door
I kissed her like a mad man and let out a lion roar
I jumped down from a chandelier and beat my chest
And said, 'Come here'
She said, 'If you can't haunt, you better not howl'

I'm [Incomprehensible] skitty and me and mama
If you can't bite, don't growl

I jumped down from a chandelier and beat my chest
And said, 'Come here'
She said, 'If you can't haunt, you better not howl'

I'm [Incomprehensible] skitty and me and mama
If you can't bite, don't growl
