Hound Dog
Unmasking the Hound Dog's Heartfelt Blues
Lyrics
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, hound dog
You are nothing but a hound dog, constantly crying
Cryin' all the time
Emphasizing the hound dog's perpetual crying
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Re-emphasizing the hound dog's continuous crying
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
You have never successfully caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Consequently, you are not considered a friend
Well, they said you was high classed
Rumor: They claimed you were high class, but it was false
Well, that was just a lie
Clarification: The high-class image was just a lie
Yeah, they said you were high classed
Reiteration: They said you were high class, which was untrue
Well, that was just a lie
Re-emphasizing the falsehood of the high-class portrayal
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
Reiterating the hound dog's inability to catch a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
As a result, you are not considered a friend
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog, constantly crying
Cryin' all the time
Emphasizing the hound dog's perpetual crying once again
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Re-emphasizing the hound dog's continuous crying
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
Re-emphasizing the hound dog's failure to catch a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Consequently, you are not considered a friend
Oh, that dog is sad
Expressing sadness regarding the hound dog's situation
When they said you was high classed
Rumor: They claimed you were high class, but it was false
Well, that was just a lie
Clarification: The high-class image was just a lie
Yeah, they said you were high classed
Reiteration: They said you were high class, which was untrue
Well, that was just a lie
Re-emphasizing the falsehood of the high-class portrayal
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
Reiterating the hound dog's inability to catch a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
As a result, you are not considered a friend
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog, constantly crying
Cryin' all the time
Emphasizing the hound dog's perpetual crying once again
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Re-emphasizing the hound dog's continuous crying
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
Stressing the hound dog's failure to catch a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
Consequently, you are not considered a friend
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog, constantly crying
Cryin' all the time
Emphasizing the hound dog's perpetual crying once again
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, hound dog
Reiteration: You are nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Re-emphasizing the hound dog's continuous crying
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
Re-emphasizing the hound dog's failure to catch a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine (you ain't no friend of mine, no)
Consequently, you are not considered a friend
