Hot Dog!
They Might Be Giants Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hot dog, oh no, hot dog

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
Now we got ears, it's time for cheers
Hot dog, hot dog, the problem's solved
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

Grab my boots and a sandwich
Let's start a parade
Get the coconut drum kit
For Daisy to play

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're taking off, we're dancing now
Hot dog, leapfrog and holy cow
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
It's a brand new day, whatcha waiting for?
Get up, stretch out, stomp on the floor
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog
We're splitting the scene, we're full of beans




So long for now from Mickey Mouse
And the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
