Move It On Over
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 lyrics of the song "Move It On Over" by Three Hanks (Williams) describe a man who comes home late at night, only to realize that his wife has changed the locks and won't let him in. Frustrated and with nowhere else to go, he decides to move into the doghouse. The song then goes on to describe a series of humorous situations in which the man tries to assert his dominance over the household, but ultimately realizes that he should have listened to his wife's warnings and stayed faithful to her.
At its core, "Move It On Over" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of infidelity and the importance of respecting one's partner's wishes. The repetition of the phrase "move it on over" throughout the song underscores the theme of displacement and the idea that the man's actions have led to his own downfall. The imagery of the doghouse, with its cramped quarters and meager existence, serves as a metaphor for the man's own position in the household and in his marriage.
Despite the serious underlying message of the lyrics, "Move It On Over" is a lively and upbeat country song that showcases the vocal talents of Three Hanks (Williams). The song has become a classic in the country music genre and continues to be popular with audiences today.
