I was hangin' out a last night at the Top Cat when the band slowed down with Merle
Man, I headed 'cross the barroom trying to find my baby girl
Some drunk tried to punk me, and asked my baby, "Do you dance?"
She said, "Yes I do, but not with you.  I'm waitin' on my man"

See, every dog has its day, dog, when a big dog throws him a bone
One moment in the sunshine when your ducks line up in a row
Lucky dog gets a big ol' bed; stray dog gets the porch
Every dog has its day, dog, but today, dog, just ain't yours

Well, I dipped her and I kissed her and she said, "Let's do one more."
And we were halfway through the two step when he stepped out on the floor
He jerked me back and said, "I'm cuttin' in, girl; let's do-si-do"
She doubled up her fist and caught him right square on the nose

Every dog has its day, dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
One moment in the sunshine when the ducks line up in a row
Lucky dog gets a big ol' bed; stray dog gets the porch
Every dog has its day, dog, but today, dog, just ain't yours

Fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog, hot dog, cur dog, weenie dog, bird dog, hound dog, cow dog, bow wow wow dog, wonder dog, barkin' dog, chasin' parked car dog

Every dog has its day, dog, when a big dog throws him a bone
One moment in the sunshine, when your ducks line up in a row
Yeah, the lucky dog gets a big ol' bed; stray dog gets the porch
Every dog has its day, dog, but today, dog, just ain't yours
Every dog has its day, dog, but today, dog, just ain't yours
