Chorus
Who tied the can on the old dog’s tail?
Did YOU tie the can on the old dog’s tail?
Who made the old dog hit the trail?
Who tied the kittle on the old dog’s tail?
Patter
He was a setter pup, set around all day
And you couldn’t get him up
Stretched out behind the barn
Sleepin’ in the sun and he didn’t give a darn
Patter
He had two pedigrees
Half was St. Bernard and the other Pekinese
He’s found his speed, you bet
Since he got the can he’s forgotten how to set BUT
