Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out (woof, woof, woof, woof)

I see ya' little speed boat head up our coast, she really want to skip town
Get back off me, beast off me
Get back you flea infested monger
I'm gonna tell myself, oh man, don't get angry (yippie yi, yo)
To any girls calling them canine (yippie yi, yo)
Tell the dummy hey man, it's part of the party (yippie yi, yo)
Would you let them be in front and her man behind (yippie yi, yo)
