Well we just left the courthouse this morning 
And the judge said we could go our seperate ways 
And everything we own must be divided just like the separation papers say 
You can keep the curtains and the tables and the chairs 
And all those dirty dishes in the sink 
Well you can take that golf club and the television set 
And that lawnmower that's always on the blink 
You can keep all the records and the hi-fi set 
You can take that phoney fireplace and the log 
Now you keep the car you keep the boat and 
I'll take the dog 
No I'll take the dog oh no 
I'm gonna take the dog 
Well who's gonna bring me my paper who's gonna keep me company 
You'll just have to give him up no 
I ain't a partin' with the pupp 
The dog belongs to me 
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 
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 
You can just forget about him 
I ain't leaving you without him 
Then you'll just have to stay 
I guess that's the only way okay 
I'll give back the curtains and the tables and the chairs 
And I'll wash the dirty dishes in the sink 
And I won't take the golf clubs and the television set 
And I'll fix that mower that's always on the blink 
We'll both listen to the records on the hi-fi set 
By the fireplace with this gas burnin' log 
We'll go ridin' in our car and we'll go sailin' in our boat 
And we'll both take the dog yes we'll both take the dog 
Come on baby (huff huff)
