Lyrics: Oh won't you let me be your salty dog, I don't want to be your man at all, You salty dog, you salty dog. Oh honey baby, let me be your salty dog, Salty dog, oh you salty dog. There's just one thing that worries my mind, All of these browns and none is mine, You salty dog, you salty dog. The scaredest I've been in my life Was when Uncle Bud nearly saw me kiss his wife, You salty dog, you salty dog. Lil' fish big fish swimmin' in the water, Come on here and give me my quarter, You salty dog, you salty dog. Like lookin' for a needle in the sand, Tryin' to find a gal that ain't got no man, You salty dog, you salty dog. God made a woman and he made her funny, Lips 'round her mouth sweeter than honey, You salty dog, you salty dog.. + Informações
