Lyrics
Well, we just left the courthouse this morning
And the judge said we could go our separate ways
And everything we own must be divided
Just like the separation papers say
You can keep the curtains and the tables and the chairs
And all those dirty dishes in the sink
Well, you can take the golf clubs and the television set
And that lawnmower that's always on the blink
You can keep all the records and the hi-fi set
You can take that phony fireplace and the logs
Uh, you can keep the car
Well, you can keep the boat
And I'll take the dog
No, I'll take the dog
Oh no, uh-uh, I'm gonna take the dog
Well, who's gonna bring me my paper?
Who's gonna keep me company?
You'll just have to give him up
Now I ain't a-partin' with that pup
The dog belongs to me
Now hold on, Ray, you ain't gonna take this dog away from me
I'm the one that feeds him every day
And who always takes care of him when he's sick
Now wait just a minute, Jeannie, I guess you forget
Who it was that always took him to the vet
And paid for all them shots at seven bucks a lick
You can just forget about him
I ain't leavin' here without him
Then you'll just have to stay
I guess that's the only way
Okay
I'll give back the curtains and the tables and the chairs
And I'll wash the dirty dishes in the sink
And I won't take the golf clubs or the television set
And I'll fix that mower that's always on the blink
We'll both listen to the records on the hi-fi set
By the fireplace with its gas-burnin' logs
We'll go ridin' in our car
And we'll go sailin' in our boat
And we'll both take the dog
Yes, we'll both take the dog
Come on, Poochie
Come here, baby
Oh, come to mama
Here you go, Jeannie, you want him now, don't you?
Oh yes, darling, let me hold him just for a while
Go ahead and take him then
Okay, aw, isn't he sweet?
Aw, he sure is sweet, isn't he?
Yes, he is
Mm, everything's all right
