Does anyone remember the old song that goes?

Question

"my dog has fleas, they bite his knees"? If so, can you list the lyrics?? Everyone I've talked to remembers it, but not what the rest says. Thanks!!

Thanks, Smokeater...but that's not the song I grew up with. Awesome effort though!

I've looked and looked on the net and cannot find it so far. A lot of oldtimers remember it from their youth as well...but can't remember the whole thing, either.

Answer 1

TADA!!!

My dog has fleas, uh-huh,
My dog has fleas, uh-huh,
My dog has fleas, from his head down past his knees,
Yeah, my dog has fleas, uh-huh.

My dog he likes to sit around and scratch,
My dog he likes to sit around and scratch,
Well he sits around and scratches,
Till his hair falls off in patches,
Yeah, my dog he likes to sit around and scratch.

'Cause my dog has fleas...(chorus)

Well, we took him to the vet, uh-huh,
We took him to the vet, uh-huh,
We took him to the vet, but he ain't stopped scratchin' yet,
Since we took him to the vet, uh-huh.

Well a couple fleas they jumped onto my cat,
And a couple others jumped into my hat,
Now we're all sittin' scratchin'
While them flea eggs they keep hatchin',
Now we all got fleas, uh-huh.

Now, we all have fleas, uh-huh,
We all have fleas, uh-huh,
We all have fleas, from our head down past our knees,
Yeah, we all have fleas, uh-huh

(I can't believe I found this)... ;)

Answer 2

I can't remember them either, but I found 2 different lyrics. first one...

My dog has fleas
Hey, no complaint
A gripe it ain't
But the facts at hand appear to be these
My dog has fleas
He's got no annoying tendencies
He's only got fleas
My dog has fleas
Hey, it's no brag
And I don't nag
But I'll gladly snag some sympathies 'cause
My dog has fleas
He's got no degrees, no PHDs
He's only got fleas
Now it's a fact I don't consider too essential
In fact, I'd tend to say it's quite inconsequential
Yes, to dwell upon it isn't my intention
But while we're on the subject I will mention
That my dog -
By now you may be familiar with his plight.
Now it's a fact I don't consider too essential
In fact, I'd tend to say it's quite inconsequential
Yes, to dwell upon it isn't my intention
But at the risk of repetition, I will mention, mention
My dog has fleas
Hey, it's no lie
But he's so shy let's
Keep it just between us please
That my dog
Ooh discretion is better
No he hasn't got lumps or knobby knees
No derby hats or dungarees
No mosquitoes, bats, or bumblebees
He's clearly got
Merely got
He's only got - !

Answer 4

My parents were part of the boogie woogie generation and I used to have such fun watching them jitterbug! One of their favorite songs was the A Train, as I remember. My mom is now 88, I am 65
