I come in last night about half past ten
That baby of mine wouldn’t let me in
So move it on over
Rock it on over
Move over little dog, a mean old dog is movin’ in

She told me not to mess around
But I done let the deal go down
Move it on over
Rock it on over
Move over nice dog, a big, bad dog is movin’ in

She changed the lock on my back door
Now my key, it won’t fit no more
Move it on over
Rock it on over
Move over nice dog, a mean old dog is movin’ in

She threw me out just as pretty as you please
Pretty soon I’ll be scratchin’ fleas
Move it on over
Slide it on over
Move over nice dog, a mean old dog is movin’ in

Yeah, listen to me dog before you start to whine
That side’s yours and this side’s mine
So move it on over
Rock it on over
Move over little dog, a big old dog is movin’ in

Yeah, she changed the lock on my back door
Now my key, it won’t fit no more
Move it on over
Rock it on over
Move over little dog, a big old dog is movin’ in

Move it on over
Move it on over
Move it on over
Wontcha rock it on over
Move over cool dog, a hot dog’s movin’ in
