Bobby: 

      I'm a lonesome polecat 

      Lonesome, sad and blue 

      ‘cause I ain't got no 

      Feminine polecat 

      Vowin' to be true. 

      Oo-oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo 

      Can't make no vow 

      To a heard of cows. 



      Johnny: 

      I'm a mean old hound dog 

      Bayin' at the moon 

      ‘cause I ain't got no 

      Lady friend hound dog 

      Here to hear my tune. 

      Oo-oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo 

      A man can't sleep 

      When he sleeps with sheep. 



      Both: 

      I'm a little old hoot owl 

      Hootin' in the trees 

      ‘cause I ain't got no 

      Little gal owl fowl 

      Here to shoot the breeze 

      Oo-oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo 

      Can't shoot no breeze 

      With a bunch of trees. 

      Why can't I lose 

      These lonesome polecat blues?
