Hound Dog [#] Lyrics

You
And you
And you
Not you
You

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Barking' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Talkin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Now they said you was high classed
And I can look through that
Now they said you was high classed
And I can see through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Barking' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Talkin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Barking' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Keep barkin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Now they said you was high classed
I can see through that
Now they said you was high classed, baby
And I can look through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Keep A-Knockin'

You
And you
And you
Not you
You

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Barking' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Talkin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Now they said you was high classed
And I can look through that
Now they said you was high classed
And I can see through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Barking' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Talkin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit 
And you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Barking' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Keep barkin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit 
And you ain't no friend of mine

Now they said you was high classed
I can see through that
Now they said you was high classed, baby
And I can look through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
