Out to the doghouse with you, that's what she said
You've been inside too long now, I must clean the mess
Go into the backyard and will you, practice your tricks
Go take yourself for a walk, you make me sickYou're just a doggy, in a snap you're fetching the bone
And you're barking when she calls
You're hiding behind the fence, you've been disobedientYour fun and playfulness is so very becoming
But she has got you by the reins, and there is no running
Conditioned to salivate at the first sound of the bell
And feeding you the remains of yesterday's mealCan you hear her calling from within the house?Well you're just a doggy, in a snap you're fetching the bone
And you're barking when she calls
You're hiding behind the fence, you've been disobedient
Shape up boyYour fun and playfulness is so very becoming
But she has got you by the reins, and there is no running
Conditioned to salivate at the first sound of the bell
And feeding you the remains of yesterday's mealCan you hear her calling, from within the house?
If you would stop barking, she might let you outAt last she opens the back gate, you're released
You're now free to roam you've been waiting
For this moment for sometime and now you must goInto the fields where there is laughter
There is peace and you're comfortable
Try to hold on now before she calls you homeYou're in the doghouse 'cause you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse 'cause you're just a dog
You're in the doghouse 'cause you're just a dog
