Well I built myself a doghouse,

Lined it out with fur,

So I can go and hide myself

Well away from her,

I got the doghouse blues,

Those Aussie doghouse blues.



Well I've even made it sound proof,

It's as silent as a tube,

So I can go and hide myself,

And howler at the moon,

I got the doghouse blues,

Those Aussie doghouse blues.



Well I'm wonderin' what's she done, 

But I dares not go and see,

I guess she must be talking

Cause these ears are burnin' me,

I got the doghouse blues,

Those Aussie doghouse blues.



[Instrumental]



Well for ten years we been married,

It's been, oh, so full of bliss,

It must be 1984 since I had my last kiss 

I got the doghouse blues

Those Aussie doghouse blues.



Yeah the children won't come near me

Mumma says the dog will bite,

So I just sit alone

And I just howl all night

I got the doghouse blues,

Those Aussie doghouse blues.



Yeah I built myself a doghouse,

Lined it out with fur

So I can go and hide myself

Well away from her,

I got the doghouse blues,

Those Aussie doghouse blues.



[Instrumental]



I got the doghouse blues,

Those Aussie doghouse blues.
