Lonesome     sad    and   blue.

'Cause I ain't got no feminine polecat

I'm a mean old hound dog
Baying at the moon.
'Cause I ain't got no ladyfriend hound dog
Here to hear my tune
oo uh ooo   etc.
A man can't sleep, when he sleeps with sheep.

I'm a little ole hoot owl
Hooting in the trees.
Cause I ain't got no lady friend owl fowl
Here to shoot the breeze.
Ooo uh ooo, etc.
Can't shoot the breeze with a bunch of trees.
