Hi everybody, I would like to play a cover of Gary Primch's song Dog House, but I can't understand the lyrics (I'm from Italy and my english is nasty!!!!) and I can't find them on the web. Can someone please help me?
Bye.
Danilo

doghouse - gary primich

i'm leaving,oh yes,i'm leaving,
i bid you all a fine farewell,
i made her sad,then she got mad,
she sent me to the doghouse
and now,here i must dwell

my bags are packed
i'm movin' in
i'm ready for a long long stay
if she could only throw me a bone
i might get out of here today

this doghouse
allright no doghouse
she got me locked out
peerin' in,bad boy barkin' at the moon

barkin' and a howlin' won't get me out
ain't gonna help my case
if i'd only behaved myself
i wouldn't be here in the first place

i'm on my back
baby cut me some slack
she got me locked out, peerin' in
bad boy barkin' at the moon
locked out,peerin' in
bad boy,barkin' at the moon
---------------------------
that's the best i could do for now. there may be some mistakes. "locked out peerin in"is hard to hear,it could be wrong. "alright no doghouse" could be wrong.

i usually make up the lyrics when i can't understand them,so,there's that.

good luck!!

Kudos to anyone doing a Primich tune - that's a good'un as he would have said. :-)

In the last verse, I always heard "locked out, penned in" instead of peerin' in...I might be mistaken, not 100% sure.

Hi Shakeylee, I don't know Attilio Gabrielli, I am from Rimini. There is a lot of great harp players here in Italy, maybe one day I will be one of those.......at now I'm just a little more than a beginner.....are you on Facebook?
