Open Up the Doghouse (Two Cats Are Coming In)
with Nat "King" Cole
(Both) Open up the doghouse
(Both) Open up the doghouse
(Both) Rover Rover move it over two cats are coming in
(D) Nat you look like a man with a story (N) I sure have
(N) I told my wife we oughta save money
(N) That's the way it's gotta be (D) Oh gotta gotta be that way
(N) She cancelled all the charge accounts gave all the gold to me
(D) Well I can't see what you did wrong
(D) Why was your woman so upset
(N) Well I put the money on a horse and he hasn't showed up yet
(Both) Open up the doghouse
(Both) Open up the doghouse
(Both) Rover Rover move it over two cats are coming in
(N) Well Dean what's your problem (D) Here it is
(D) I gave my wife a beautiful fur coat (N) You did
(D) Told her it was genuine mink (N) Rich man
(D) I took her out to show it off
(D) Then we stopped in for a drink (N) Oh cocktails
(N) We I know your wife was really thrilled
(N) How come you two had a spat
(D) It's easy to see it started to rain the coat got wet
(D) And mink just don't smell like that (N) Timber
(Both) Open up the doghouse
(Both) Open up the doghouse
(Both) Rover Rover move it over two cats are coming in
(D) Let's hear it Nat (N) You know what you know what though
(D) What
(N) There's just one way to handle a woman
(N) Dean we just got to treat 'em rough (D) Got to slap 'em
(N) That's right (D) We got to show 'em who wears the pants
(D) Cut out that sisssy sissy stuff
(N) Now it ain't no use to take abuse
(N) Whenever they are cranky or cross
(Both) Let's put the women in their place and we'll show them who's the boss
Open up the doghouse
Two cats are coming in
(Both) Open up the doghouse
