Hound Dog Man
Fabian

Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman

Peaked at # 9 in 1959
Fabian Forte's third-biggest hit, the title tune from his 1959 film, co-starring Carol 
Lynley. Single b/w "This Friendly World," which charted separately as a Top 15 hit. 
Reportedly written to cash-in on the success of Elvis' smash 1956 hit "Hound Dog."


Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man

I'm gonna get me an ol' hound dog
I'm gonna let 'im lead the way
Then I'm gonna turn 'im loose
We'll go huntin' every day
That's the kind of life for me
There's one thing I wanna be, and that's a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man

I'm wanna get up in the mornin'
a-Yeah, with the risin' sun
I'm gonna stay right on that trail
Till the day is done
I think I am old enough
I'm young in years but I'm mighty tough, a-like a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man

	I'm lookin' for a girl who'll be waitin' when I come home
	She's gonna meet me with a kiss
	She's gonna be one pretty miss
	And every time I go, she gonna miss-a me more and more
	She's gonna have a tear in her eye, the time's gonna pass so slow

That's the kind of life for me
a-There's one thing I wanna be, and that's a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man



	And every time I go, she gonna miss-a me more and more
	She's gonna have a tear in her eye, the time's gonna pass so slow 

That's the kind of life for me
a-There's one thing I wanna be, and that's a
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound dog man
Hound dog man, hound dog man, I wanna be a hound   dog   man
Hound   dog   man
Hound   dog   man
