(Jean - spoken)
Well we just left the courthouse this morning
And the judge said we could go our seperate ways
(Ray - spoken)
And everything we own must be divided
Just like the separation papers say
(Ray)
You can keep the curtains and the tables and the chairs
And all those dirty dishes in the sink
(Jean)
Well you can take that golf club and the television set
And that lawnmower that's always on the blink
(Ray)
You can keep all the records and the hi-fi set
(Jean)
You can take that phoney fireplace and the log
Ray)
Now you keep the car
(Jean)
You keep the boat
(Ray)
and I'll take the dog
(Jean)
No I'll take the dog
(Ray)
oh no I'm gonna take the dog
(Jean)
Well who's gonna bring me my paper who's gonna keep me company
(Ray)
You'll just have to give him up
(Jean)
No I ain't a partin' with the pup
(Both)
The dog belongs to me
(Jean - Spoken))
Now hold on Ray you ain't gonna take this dog away from me
I'm the one that feeds him every day
And who always takes care of him when he's sick
(Ray - Spoken)
Now wait just a minute Jeannie I guess that you forget
Who it was that always took him to the bed
Paid for all of them shots of seven bucks a lick
(Jean)
You can just forget about him
(Ray)
I ain't leaving you without him
(Jean)
Then you'll just have to stay
(Ray)
I guess that's the only way
(Jean)
okay
(Jean)
I'll give back the curtains and the tables and the chairs
And I'll wash the dirty dishes in the sink
(Ray)
And I won't take the golf clubs and the television set
And I'll fix that mower that's always on the blink
(Jean)
We'll both listen to the records on the hi-fi set
By the fireplace with this gas burnin' log
(Ray)
We'll go ridin' in our car
(Jean)
and we'll go sailin' in our boat
(Both)
And we'll both take the dog
yes we'll both take the dog
(Ray)
Come on baby (huff huff)
