Tom Waits - Puttin' On The Dog Lyrics

Tom Waits Lyrics

"Puttin' On The Dog"

You gotta stomp, whistle, and scream
You gotta wake right up in your dreams
You gotta jump, whittle, and drive
Keep that feelin' alive

You gotta kick, holler, and shout
Gonna tell you what it's all about
You gotta tell me that you love me
Tell me that you're mine
We're puttin' on the dog tonight
We're puttin' on the dog tonight

We'll be puttin' on the dog tonight
Puttin' on puttin' on the dog tonight
We'll be puttin' on the dog tonight
Well we'll be puttin' on the dog tonight
Puttin' on the dog
Puttin' on the dog

We'll flip, follow, and fly
Just do it now and don't ask why
You gotta strut, wiggle, and slide
Let everyone know that you're alive
You gotta crank, gallop, and twist
Do it once, you'll never resist

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you're mine
We're puttin' on the dog tonight yeah
Puttin' on the dog tonight, alright

Well, we could go into a zuki jump, it's rainin', it pours
Big ol' Lincoln with the suicide doors
Tip that bottle from the brim to the dregs
You ain't dancin' till you cross your legs

Puttin' on the dog tonight
We'll be puttin' on the dog tonight
We'll be puttin' on the dog tonight
Puttin' on the dog tonight
Puttin' on the dog
I'll be puttin' on the dog
Puttin' on the dog
