Mangy, Mangy, Mangy, Mangy
I was sitting home watching TV
late the other night
All the dogs in the neighborhood started barking
Sounded liked a fight
I went over to the window
to see what was going on
He comes running down the alley
Here comes that Mangy Old Dog
Mangy Old Dog they're a little bit jealous of you
Oh man it's true
Mangy Old Dog You're nobody's fool
You ain't got no leash around you
Mangy Old Dog
Mangy, Mangy, Mangy, Mangy
I've seen that dog around before
He only comes out at night
He gets a little hungry just out sniffin for a little bite
He ain't lookin for no trouble no
He aint looking for a fight
If he gets lucky he'll get a little delight
If you hear him howlin'
You know he got some tonight
Mangy, Mangy, Mangy, Mangy, Mangy Old Dog
Mangy Old Dog they're a little bit jealous of you
Oh man it's true
Mangy Old Dog You're nobody's fool
You aint got no fence holding you
Mangy Old Dog You're nobody's fool
Mangy, Mangy, Mangy, Mangy
Mangy Old Dog You're nobody's fool
Oh man it's true
If you hear him howlin'
You know he got some tonight
Mangy, Mangy, Mangy, Mangy
