People they're talkin' about you and I
What they sayin' I know is a lie
The people they're talkin' about me and you
I done got tired, I'm gonna talk some too
They talk about my dog, they talk about my cat
Sayin' my dog can't bark and my cat can't scratch
The people they're talkin' about me and you
I done got tired, I'm gonna talk some too
My dog can bark and my cat can scratch
Who started the fire'll have to go out and stop the match
The people they're talkin' about me and you
I done got tired, I'm gonna talk some too
Ain't nobody's business if I bark like a dog
Chasin' rats all up and down the hall
The people they're talkin' about me and you
I done got tired, I'm gonna talk some too
