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?
