ITCHIN' AND A-TWITCHIN'
CHARLIE: My girl's a collie name-a Mollie
Three years old (Itchy, appreciatively: Rrf!)
She keeps me hangin'
Treats me cold
She brings me twice the mis'ry of
A case of fleas
I call her up and holler
PLEASE, HONEY, PLEASE!!
I'm itchin'
For you to treat me right
Twitchin'
In all my dreams at night
I can't sleep
'Cause I keep
Itchin' and a-twitchin'
Round 1 a.m. I saw you jump back
Over the gate
Where had you been girl
Out that late?
You said it was the groomer's
Now that can't be true
You had your collar on backwards
And your fur was muddy too!
I'm itchin'
For you to treat me right
Twitchin'
In all my dreams at night
I can't sleep
'Cause I keep
Itchin' and a-twitchin'
Now you know a dog ain't supposed to beg, but if I had knees,
honey, I'd be down on 'em right now! Have mercy!
Ooh, baby - I whimper like a puppy
When you cross your paws that way
I shiver, I quiver, I shake all over
Every time I hear you say -
(He breaks down, overcome)
I'm itchin'
For you to treat me right (etc.)
