Well he's not, very handsome, to look at  
        D                           G   D 
Oh he's shaggy, and he eats, like a hog  
         G       E           A 
And he's always, killin', my chickens

    E       A 
Egg suckin' dog

I'm gonna stomp, your head in the ground  
       G           E         A   
If you don't, stay out of my hen house

You Dirty Old Egg Sucking hound.

Now if he don't, stop eatin', my eggs up

Though I'm not a real bad guy  
    G            E               A 
I'm goin' get my riffle and send him  
        D                          G 
To that great chicken house in the sky.

Your always hangin' around

But you'd better stay out of my hen house  
    D                     G      D 
You Dirty Old Egg Sucking hound.
