Lyrics for Howlin' At The Moon

I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in I can't even spell my name, my heads in such a spin Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old tablespoon You got me chasing rabbits, walkin' on my hands, and howlin' at the Moon Well, sug', I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad And then I even went and lost what little sense I had Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon You got me chasing rabbits, pulling out my hair, and howlin' at the Moon Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree 'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state that can hold a light to me I eat three bones for dinner today, then tried to tree a 'Coon You got me chasing rabbits, scratching fleas, and howlin' at the Moon I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass I pulled 'im up and I hollered, "Whoa!" And said, "Fill him up with gas" The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham, he changed my tune You got me chasing rabbits, spittin' out teeth, and howlin' at the Moon I never thought in this whole world a fool could fall so hard But honey baby, when I fell, the whole world must have jarred I think I'd quit my doggish ways if you'd take me for your groom You got me chasing rabbits, pickin' out rings, and howlin' at the Moon
