Howlin’ at the Moon Lyrics

I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name, my heads in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old tablespoon
You got me chasing rabbits, walkin' on my hands, and howlin' at the Moon

Well, sug', I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost what little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasing rabbits, pulling out my hair, and howlin' at the Moon

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree
'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state that can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today, then tried to tree a 'Coon
You got me chasing rabbits, scratching fleas, and howlin' at the Moon

I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled 'im up and I hollered, "Whoa!" And said, "Fill him up with gas"
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham, he changed my tune
You got me chasing rabbits, spittin' out teeth, and howlin' at the Moon

I never thought in this whole world a fool could fall so hard
But honey baby, when I fell, the whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways if you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasing rabbits, pickin' out rings, and howlin' at the Moon
