Hound dog! They call them Rhythm and Blues Hound dog! Two dogs named Rhythm and Blues Hound dog! Rompin' ol' Rhythm and Blues Hound dog! Rockin' ol' Rhythm and Blues Hound dog! Crazy ol' Rhythm and Blues Hound dog! Hound dog! Hound dog! Hound dog! Rhythm and Blues was their name Yeah, Rhythm and Blues was their name Well, they romped and stomped to the rock 'n' roll You can't stop them to save your soul Rhythm and Blues was their name Two hound dogs sittin' on a stump Diggin' that music, they started to jump They can't dance well, ain't got no shoes Two ol' dogs named Rhythm and Blues A little white rabbit crossed the road Rockin' and a-rollin' like a crazy toad Rhythm said, Blues I'll match your ace We'll run that rabbit all over the place Rhythm said to Blues, let's cut for the pad Blues said, Rhythm well crazy dad! They bailed out down the trail A-rockin' and a-rollin' and a-waggin' their tail Hound dog! Hound dog! Hound dog! Hound dog!
