The mans in the moon, and the cats in the cradle,
And I'm in the doghouse
It never would have happened if my best friend
Wasn't such a loudmouth
She's heard things that she don't like about my nights out
Now she's on me like an old cheap suit,
I'm in the doghouse
Well, the dogs eating' good and he don't care
And I'm chewing' bones in the cold night air
The whole thing seems just a little unfair
There he sits in my favorite chair
Whoever said they was man's best friend,
Had it all wrong
If she finds out you've been running with the pack
You'll be dog gone
She says she's got a bone to pick
Should I sit up and beg, should I fetch a stick
I can't stay here scratching' fleas and ticks,
In the doghouse
Well, the dogs eating' good and he don't care
If I'm chewing' bones in the cold night air
The whole thing seems just a little unfair
There he sits in my favorite chair
I can tell matters are getting' real bad,
I bit the mailman
I been chasing' cars up and down the street
Instead of women
The dog and my wife are getting' mighty thick
Looking' through the window just makes me sick
This old' dog better learn a new trick
I'm in the doghouse
Well, the dog is eating good, and he don't care
If I'm chewing' bones in the cold night air
The whole thing seems just a little unfair
There he sits in my favorite chair
The mans in the moon,
And the cats in the cradle and I'm in the doghouse
It never would have happened
If my best friend wasn't such a loudmouth
She's heard things that she don't like about my nights out
Now she's on me like an old' cheap suit,
I'm in the doghouse
Well, the dog is eating good, and he don't care
If I'm chewing' bones in the cold night air
The whole thing seems just a little unfair
There he sits in my favorite chair
The dog and my wife are getting' mighty thick
Looking' through the window just makes me sick
This old' dog better learn a new trick
I'm in the doghouse
I'm in the doghouse
