0:01How Come My Dog Don't Bark
0:02(When You Come Around) (LP Version) -Dr. John
0:19Now you say you ain't never met my wife,
0:21You ain't never seen her before,'
0:24Say you ain't been hangin' roun' my crib;
0:27Well here's somethin' I wanna know…
0:29I wanna know what in the worl' is goin' down,
0:32How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
0:37I got the baddest dog, he'll bite anybody.
0:41He bit my little brother,
0:43Took a chunk out of my ol' sweet li'l mother.
0:46He bit the mailman – he sees him every day;
0:50He takes one look at you, he wanna jump up and play.
0:54Now I ain't got a clue as to
0:57What you puttin' down, but
0:59How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
1:04My dog's dangerous; tried to set people straight;
1:08I even bought a “BAD DOG”
1:10Sign an' hung it on the gate.
1:13Here you come trippin' up 'bout a quarter of nine
1:16Fulla dat Night Train wine,
1:18Tryin' to slide past the sign…
1:22My dog been noddin' off, ain't payin' you no mind.
1:26That's my dog, when I come home
1:29He don't sleep THAT sound!
1:31How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
1:35I still don't like it,
1:37I don't dig it one damn bit,
1:39The way you an' my dog's so tight,
1:41Somethin' don't fit!
1:43I slipped through the alley, I called my dog,
1:47Said, “get off your rusty duster,
1:50Move a little faster to your ol' master,
1:53You old cayute, you.”
1:55He took one look at me,
1:57An' he growled an' he ran straight to you.
2:02Now somebody's been confusin' my po' hound.
2:07An I wanna know what's goin' down.
2:11How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
2:15(Clarinet Solo)
2:24Maybe I better call up Jacoby & Myers,
2:28An' you can take the fifth, amendment, that is.
2:33You better stand up fo' your rights,
2:35'cause you might not be standin' too long.
2:38I'm gonna stop all this confusion.
2:40I'm gon' fire that hound., shoot that dog down.
2:45Then I'm gonna get busy mutilatin, s
2:49Trangulatin' operatin',
2:51An' crematin' my Ol'
2:54Lady down at the cremation station.
2:56Then I'm gonna torch that, too,
2:58And come right on after you!
3:01You can give you heart an' soul to charity;
3:04All the rest gonna belong to me.
3:07I'm goin' straight down to dat barber supply shop,
3:11Get me a pearl handle, double edge, hollow ground,
3:16Super blue blade, adjustable,
3:19Stainless steel, honed edge,
3:22Both blades on the same side so when I cut you once,
3:26You gonna bleed twice, goin' an' comin'
3:31An' if you don' believe me,
3:33Shake yo' head;
3:34It'll be singin' “I ain't got no body.”
3:38'Cause one night I did a little
3:40FBI Double-O-Seven-type investigatin'.
3:44You an' my Ol' Lady thought I was gone,
3:46But I wasn't gone.
3:48Dat's why I have to separate you from your ground.
3:52An the only soun' you gonna hear
3:55When you six feet in the ground:
4:02How come my dog didn't bark when you came around?
