Hound Dog Lyrics

[Chorus]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, they said that you was high classed
That was just a lie
Well, they said that you was high classed
That was just a lie
You ain't never caught no rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

[Chorus][x2]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
