Lyrics:
“Move It On Over”
(originally by Hank Williams)
That baby of mine wouldn’t let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause the big dogs moving in
Shes changed the lock on my front door
My door key don’t fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause the fat dogs moving in
This dog house here is mighty small
But it’s better than no house at all
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dogs moving in
And she told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dogs moving in
Well, she warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don’t take no ones advice
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause the tall dogs moving in
Shell crawl back to me on her knees
I’ll be busy scratching fleas
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a mad dogs moving in
Remember pup, before you whine
That sides yours and this sides mine
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dogs moving in
