Move It On Over
The Three Hanks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That baby of mine wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause the big dog's moving in
She changed the lock on my front door
My door key don't work no more
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause the fat dog's moving in
The dog house here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in
She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dog's moving in
She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause tall dog's moving in
She'll crawl back to me on her knees
I'll be busy scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a mad dog's moving in
Remember pup, before you whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in.
The Three Hanks's song Move It On Over is a classic country song that tells the story of a man who comes home after drinking and his wife locks him out of the house. The singer is determined to get back inside and reclaim his place in the home, but his wife is not willing to let him in. He urges her to move over and make room for him, and warns her that a bigger, stronger, and more determined dog is moving in.
The lyrics use the metaphor of dogs to describe the relationship dynamics between the couple. The singer is depicted as a "big dog" who is taking back his territory, while his wife is a "little dog" who is being pushed out. There is also a sense of competition between the two, as the singer declares that he is a "mad dog" and a "tall dog" who is better than his wife's "nice dog" and "short dog."
The song is a humorous take on a common domestic conflict, but it also touches on themes of masculinity, control, and power dynamics in relationships. It portrays the singer as a dominant and assertive figure who is unwilling to be pushed around by his wife, but also suggests that he is not immune to her influence and may end up being the one who is left out in the end.
