Dog that's got won't let,
Dog's with not get chews.
If it's table scrap, they may still refuse.
Big dog gets half, small dog gets half,
But don't mess the dog what's got his bone.
What's got his bone.

And there will be war,
If a canine strayed,
Boney sockets from a chuck roast cut blade,
'Cuz big dog gets half, small dog gets half,
But don't mess the dog what's got his bone.
What's got his bone.

Though you're dog be mangy, your home he'll defend,
And he may bark and roar,
When away you've gone, and he is tied and penned,
You think he's watchin' your door, wo, wo.
Though your Dalmatian will chew,
Your fav'rite shoes and such,
He can't help himself,
But his bone don't touch.
Big dog gets half, small dog gets half,
But don't mess the dog what's got his bone.
What's got his bone.

Though you're dog be mangy, your home he'll defend,
And he may bark and roar,
When away you've gone, and he is tied and penned,
You think he's watchin' your door, wo, wo.
Though your Dalmatian will chew,
Your fav'rite shoes and such,
He can't help himself,
But his bone don't touch.
Big dog gets half, small dog gets half,
But he'll get riled if'in,
Your hand you lay, upon his bone.
Dog's act wild, when they have a bone, yeah.
