Intro: Verse: I've been swallowing my pride I've been struggling not to fight I've been strong, oh so strong And I've gone that extra mile Cause I thought I'd make you smile I was wrong, so damn wrong Keep on howlin' mama Keep on howlin' at the moon I'll be on my way now pretty soon Keep on howlin' mama Keep on howlin' at the moon This ole dog's been sleeping But he's running pretty soon So keep on howlin' mama Howlin' at the moon You've been barking up the wrong tree Verse: All them shoes and jewellery They kept walking over me What a waste what a waste I'm just glad I kept the car It will take me pretty far Far away far away Keep on howlin' mama Keep on howlin' at the moon I'll be on my way now pretty soon Keep on howlin' mama Keep on howlin' at the moon This ole dog's been sleeping But he's running pretty soon So keep on howlin' mama Howlin' at the moon You've been barking up the wrong tree Interlude: So keep on howlin' mama Howlin' at the moon You've been barking up the wrong tree Keep on howlin' mama Keep on howlin' at the moon I'll be on my way now pretty soon Keep on howlin' mama Keep on howlin' at the moon This ole dog's been sleeping But he's running pretty soon So keep on howlin' mama Howlin' at the moon You've been barking up the wrong tree You've been barking up the wrong tree
