Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no lovin' since you-know-when
You know I love you, yes I do

Baby, don't you let your dog bite me
Yes, this mean I'm in love again

Eeny-meeny and miney-mo
Told me you didn't want me 'round no more
Hoo-ee, baby, hoo-ee
Baby, don't you let your dog bite me

A short work of pure genius. Blew me away when I was 12 and at 76 it's still doing it for me. Thanks Mr Domino.

One of my favorite Fats Domino songs. Actually, they are all my favorites! I started buying his records when I was in high school in the 1950's. They were all 78 rpm's, and I still have every one of them. His music makes a person feel happy. God bless him.
@alyceclover
My oldest sister and oldest brother bought the 78 RPMS for our basement jukebox. She was more Elvis and he was more Fats, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis ~ Fats my favorite.

I just celebrated my 82nd birthday...woke up this morning with this song in my head! It sounds just as great as it did when I was 16. I'll be listening to Fats for the rest of the day!
