Love 'Em! Shrimply Love 'Em!


HOW MUCH IS THAT HOUND DOG IN THE WINDOW
Recorded by Homer & Jethro
Original words and music by Bob Merrill

—I b'lieve we oughta sing, Homer!
—Now?
—Now!

How much is that hound dog in the winder?
I do hope that fleabag's for sale.
How much is that hound dog in the winder?
The one with the long, mangy tail.

I'll give you two bits for that hound dog,
The one with the sad, achin' heart.
Fer he looks so much like my girlfriend,
I can't hardly tell 'em apart.

—Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh!
—What kind of a dog is that?
—That is a hot-dog, Homer!
—Boy, you sure mustard that up, didn't you?

I must take a trip to Lou'sianer,
Leave her and that hound dog alone.
While I'm eatin' shrimp and jambaliar,
They'll be home a-gnawin' a bone.

I don't want a monkey or a baboon.
I don't want an old muley cow.
I don't want a crappie or a catfish.
A catfish could never meow.

How much is that hound dog in the winder,
With the basketball nose on its face?
You know what a basketball nose is?
It dribbles all over the place.
