What D'ye Mean You Lost Yer Dog 1913

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Oct 2004

I've got a dog named Rover,
Here Rover, come Rover,
He roams around all over
just home three times a day,
I'll bet he hears me whistling
See the neighbors are listening,
"What do you mean you lost your dog?"
I hear the people say.

Whistle
Has anybody here seen Rover?
Whistle
I'm looking for him now all over.
He's a hunter's dog all right;
he keeps me hunting day and night,
this is what I worry over,
Say; who put the "Rov" in Rover?
Whistle
My whistle's getting dry
it seems as if I hear that mongrel whine
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
I should worry like a tree
and have somebody trimming me
Where's that dog gone;
doggone dog of mine.

Whistle
Has anybody here seen Rover?
Whistle
I'm looking for him now all over.
He's a hunter's dog all right;
he keeps me hunting day and night,
this is what I worry over,
Say; who put the "Rov" in Rover?
Whistle
My whistle's getting dry
it seems as if I hear that mongrel whine
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
I should worry like a tree
and have somebody trimming me
Where's that dog gone;
doggone dog of mine.

I'm looking 'round all over,
Here Rover, come Rover,
I got him up in Dover
a hundred miles away,
wait till he comes I'll chain him,
I'll train him, I'll brain him,
"What do you mean you lost your dog?"
Again I hear them say.

Whistle
Has anybody here seen Rover?
Whistle
I'm looking for him now all over.
He's a hunter's dog all right;
he keeps me hunting day and night,
this is what I worry over,
Say; who put the "Rov" in Rover?
Whistle
My whistle's getting dry
it seems as if I hear that mongrel whine
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
I should worry like a tree
and have somebody trimming me
Where's that dog gone;
doggone dog of mine.

Whistle
Has anybody here seen Rover?
Whistle
I'm looking for him now all over.
He's a hunter's dog all right;
he keeps me hunting day and night,
this is what I worry over,
Say; who put the "Rov" in Rover?
Whistle
My whistle's getting dry
it seems as if I hear that mongrel whine
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
I should worry like a tree
and have somebody trimming me
Where's that dog gone;
doggone dog of mine.
