Move It On Over Lyrics

Came in last night about a half past ten
That woman of mine she wouldn't let me in
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause a big dog's movin in

She changed the lock on my front door
now my key, it don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause a fat dog's moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's sure better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in

She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a bad dog's moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause a tall dog's moving in

I'll crawl back to her on my knees
pretty soon i'll be scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a bad dog's moving in

Remember pup, before you start to whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in

Cover art for Move It On Over lyrics by Hank Williams

This song's about a husband who came home late, so his wife changed the locks on the front door, now he's in the doghouse in more ways than one.

Ever notice that the music for this song and 'Rock Around the Clock' are exactly the same! Same beat, same tempo, just different arraingements and vocals, but the same song. Hank really was visionary wasn't he?

Kansas City Blues by Jim Jackson and Going to Move to Alabama by Charlie Patton had the exact same beat and melody too (they were just slower), and they came out 20 years before Move It On Over
