Ah doggie is nothing if he don't have a bone
All doggie hold it

Last year in the dance you had a ball
You call me millibug and skettell
Get back fluffy, mash scruffy
Get back you flea infested mongrel
RAP
If I was a dog
The party is on
I got to get my groove on
'Cause my mind done gone
Can't you see the rays coming from my eyes
Walking through the place like Digi-man
Breaking it down
Me and my white tail
Short coat
Can't see color
Any color will do
I'll stick on you
That's why they call me pit bull
'Cause I'm the man of the land when they see me
They say oooooh
Chorus

The song "Who Let the Dogs Out" by Baha Men is an energetic and upbeat composition that talks about a party that was great until some guys started calling out names to girls. The chorus repeats the phrase "Who Let the Dogs Out" multiple times, which initially seems like a reference to actual dogs. However, the lyrics suggest that it is about people who behave like dogs, calling out names to girls and behaving recklessly at parties.
The first verse sets up the scene of a party where everyone is having fun until three men start calling out girls' names. The third verse talks about how the men must have been angry to hear themselves called out as canines. However, they did not mind it much as it was just a part of the party. The bridge suggests that being a dog without having a bone to keep them occupied is a terrible state, indicating that the men called out girls' names only trying to get their attention. The Rap verse establishes that the singer believes he is as good as a dog with a purpose and that he is at any party to enjoy himself.
Overall, the song conveys a relaxed party vibe while also addressing gender issues in a humorous way. Through its catchy chorus and groovy tune, it gained popularity across the world, and its phrasing became a pop culture reference.
