Lyrics
1. I’ve got a dog named Rover
Here Rover come Rover
He roams around all over
Just home three times a day
I’ll bet he hears me whistling
See the neighbors are list’ning
“What do you mean you lost your dog?”
I hear the people say
Chorus
Has any body here seen Rover?
I’m looking for him now all over
He’s a hunter’s dog all right
He keeps me hunting day and night
This is what I worry over
Say, who put the “Rov” in Rover?
My whistle’s getting dry
It seems as if I hear that mongrel whine
Woof, woof, woof, woof
I should worry like a tree and have somebody trimming me
[I should worry like a hen and scratch all day without a pen]
Where’s that doggone, doggone dog of mine
2. I’m looking ’round all over
Here Rover come Rover
I got him up in Dover
A hundred miles away
Wait till he comes I’ll chain him
I’ll train him, I’ll brain him
“What do you mean you lost your dog?”
Again I hear them say
