The cat's got the measles and the dog got the whoopin' cough, doggone The cat's got the measles and the dog's got the whoopin' cough Doggone a man, let a woman be his boss, doggone my time Thought I heard a rockin', deep down in the ground, doggone Thought I heard a rockin', deep down in the ground It must have been the devil, a-chain my good gal down, doggone my time I ain't good-lookin' and my teeth don't shine like pearl, doggone I ain't good-lookin' and my teeth don't shine like pearl But I got what it takes to carry me through this dog-god world, doggone my time The cat's got the measles and the dog got the whoopin' cough, doggone The cat's got the measles and the dog's got the whoopin' cough Doggone a man, let a woman be his boss, doggone my time I ain't no devil, just born in the lions' den, doggone I ain't no devil, just born in the lions' den And my chief occupation, takin' women from their monkey men, doggone my time The men don't like me, just because I keep my side, doggone The men don't like me, just because I keep my side But the women cry, "Papa!", say they want to be my bride, doggone my time The cat's got the measles and the dog got the whoopin' cough, doggone The cat's got the measles and the dog got the whoopin' cough Doggone a man, let a woman be his boss, doggone my time
