Chorus:
 The cat’s got the measles and the dog’s got the whooping cough doggone The cat’s got the measles, dog’s got the whooping cough, Doggone a man let a woman be his boss, doggone my time. 
Thought I heard a rockin’ deep down in the ground, doggone Thought I heard a rockin’ deep down in the ground, It musta been the devil a-chainin��� my good gal down. 
(instrumental) 
I ain���t good lookin��� and my teeth don���t shine like pearls, doggone I ain���t good lookin��� and my teeth don���t shine like pearls But I got what it takes to carry me through this cock-eyed world 
The cat’s got the measles and the dog’s got the whooping cough doggone The cat’s got the measles, and dog’s got the whooping cough, Doggone a man let a woman be his boss, doggone my time. 
(instrumental) 
I ain���t no devil just born in the lion���s den, doggone I ain���t no devil just born in the lion���s den My chief oc’pation’s takin’ women from the monkey men 
The men don���t like me just because I keep my side doggone The men don���t like me just because I keep my side But the women cyin��� papa they don���t want to be my bride. 
The cat’s got the measles and the dog’s got the whooping cough doggone The cat’s got the measles, dog’s got the whooping cough, Doggone a man let a woman be his boss, doggone my time. 
(instrumental)
