I'm a lonesome polecat
Lonesome, sad and blue
'Cause I ain't got no femine polecat
Vowin' to be true

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Can't make no vows
To a herd o' cows,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

I'm a mean old hound dog
Bayin' at the moon
'Cause I ain't got no lady friend hound dog
Here to hear my tune

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
A man can't sleep
When he sleeps with sheep
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

I'm a li'l old hoot owl
Hootin' in the trees
'Cause I ain't got no little gal owl fowl
Here to shoot the breeze

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Can't shoot no breeze
With a bunch o' trees
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
