Hound Dog    

            words & music by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
 cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
 cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
 and you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
 well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
 well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
 and you ain't no friend of mine.
