[Spoken: Bob Dylan & others]
Uh, no, not any harmony, but harmony in the background like oooooh
In a key of- (aoooh) no, no, no like oooooh
Just that harmony, just that waooh, waooh (why, why, why, why)
Yeah, right, why
Why, why (dog, dog, dog, dog) (yeah)

(Why, why, why, why, why)
Every time I go to town
The boys keep kickin' my dog around (why, why, why)
Don't know why I'm going to town
I don't know why they kick my dog around
Let me hear ya, now

(Dog, dog, dog)
(Dog, dog, dog)
(Dog, dog, dog)
(Why, why, why) That's right
(Why, why, why) Do that again
(Why, why, why)
(Why, why, why)
(Dog, dog, dog)
(Dog, dog, dog)

Every time I go to town
The boys keep kickin' my dog around (Why, why, why)
I don't know why I'm going to town
I don't know why they're kickin' my dog around
