"Howling At The Moon" lyrics

Howling At The Moon

I know there's never been a man
In the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name
My head's in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak
With a big old table-spoon
You got me chasing rabbits
Walking on my hands
And howling at the moon

Well, sugar, I took one look at you
And it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost
What little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night
I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasing rabbits
Pulling out my hair
And howling at the moon

Some friends of mine asked me to go
Out on a hunting spree
Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state
That can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today
Then tried to tree a coon
You got me chasing rabbits
Scratching fleas
And howling at the moon

I rode my horse to town today
And a gas pump we did pass
I pulled him up and I hollered "Whoa"
Said fill him up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench
And wham he changed my tune
You got me chasing rabbits
Spitting out teeth
And howling at the moon

I never thought in this old world
A fool could fall so hard
But honey baby, when I fell
The whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways
If you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasing rabbits
Picking out rings
And howling at the moon
