Puttin’ on the dog

(Tom Waits)



You gotta stomp, whistle and scream

You gotta wake right up in your dreams

You gotta jump, wheel and drive

Keep that feeling alive



You gotta kick, holler and shout

I'm gonna tell you what it's all about

You gotta tell me that you love me

Tell me that you're mine



We're putting on the dog tonight

We're putting on the dog tonight

We'll be p...putting on the dog tonight

Putting on, putting on the dog tonight

We'll be putting on the dog tonight

We'll be putting on the dog tonight

Putting on the dog

Putting on the dog



We'll flip, we'll follow and fly

Just do it now and don't ask why

You gotta strut, wiggle and slide

Let everybody know that you're alive



You gotta crank, gallop and twist

Do it once, you'll never resist

Tell me that you love me

Tell me that you're mine



We're putting on the dog tonight

Putting on the dog tonight, alright



Well we'll be going to a sooky jump it's rain and it pours

Big old Lincoln with his suicide doors

Tip that bottle from the brim to the dregs

You ain't dancing 'till you cross your legs



Putting on the dog tonight

We'll be putting on the dog tonight

We'll be putting on the dog tonight

Putting on the dog tonight

Putting on the dog

I've been p...putting on the dog

Putting on the dog

Putting on the dog

Putting on the dog

Putting on the dog
