The Lyrics
A little too easy to write
Watched football with the guys
At a bar she called, "Hey J,
I've been fixing us some dinner
In my sexy negligee!"
But when you start to drink
It's so hard to just slow down
So when I showed up at midnight
She wore old sweats and a frown
So I'm back in the doghouse again
Leaned in for a good night kiss, and burped right in her face
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Told my friends the details how, I got to second base
When we dance, stomp on her feet
Cold in bed, I stole the sheets
Leavin up the toilet seat
Back in the doghouse again
My girl was mad at me
Said I flirt behind her back
That I'm stare at her friends' asses
And I'm checking out their racks
I tried to set things right
I surprised her with a cake
She said, "Jeff, it's not my birthday
But it is my best friend Blake's"
So I'm back in the doghouse again
I said "I'm sorry Cindy", but, my girlfriend's name was Kate
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Thought I'd try a new shortcut, we got there three days late
Backed over her kitty cat
"Your new dress makes you look fat"
What the hell made me say that?
Back in the doghouse again
--Instrumental Break--
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Surprised her with a promise ring, it turned her finger green
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Treated her to Hooters once, I said the wings were lean
Didn't do her laundry right
Put my red socks with her whites
Shrunk her clothes, they're all too tight
Back in the doghouse again
At a bar she called, "Hey J,
I've been fixing us some dinner
In my sexy negligee!"
But when you start to drink
It's so hard to just slow down
So when I showed up at midnight
She wore old sweats and a frown
So I'm back in the doghouse again
Leaned in for a good night kiss, and burped right in her face
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Told my friends the details how, I got to second base
When we dance, stomp on her feet
Cold in bed, I stole the sheets
Leavin up the toilet seat
Back in the doghouse again
My girl was mad at me
Said I flirt behind her back
That I'm stare at her friends' asses
And I'm checking out their racks
I tried to set things right
I surprised her with a cake
She said, "Jeff, it's not my birthday
But it is my best friend Blake's"
So I'm back in the doghouse again
I said "I'm sorry Cindy", but, my girlfriend's name was Kate
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Thought I'd try a new shortcut, we got there three days late
Backed over her kitty cat
"Your new dress makes you look fat"
What the hell made me say that?
Back in the doghouse again
--Instrumental Break--
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Surprised her with a promise ring, it turned her finger green
Now I'm back in the doghouse again
Treated her to Hooters once, I said the wings were lean
Didn't do her laundry right
Put my red socks with her whites
Shrunk her clothes, they're all too tight
Back in the doghouse again

any song discussing cats is always good...and the 'fat' line - priceless. well-done. congrats on #100.
Talk about getting a raw deal, Jeff...what the hell was she upset about?? Some girls are just so sensitive...=) 5s...and WAY TO GO on reaching 100!!
Arwen, Bob...Thanks!
You poor dear, women really can be so ridiculous. You did an excellent job here, and WOO HOO on your 100!
Absolutely STERLING parody, Jeff...it feels like you know the subject matter a little too well....555
The Reubenator hits THE BIG 100 ! Congratulations, Jeff!
excellent, Mr Platinum - sounds like you need to get to our next meeting, and fast!....it's just a minefield, what with having to avoid squashing their kitty cats and all....it puts me in mind of my (warning: shameless plug) shed parody:

Ok, Jeffy, nice use of my name! Since you never wrote a song about me I will take that since its the best I can get! I love it, absolutely love it. ;)
Great parody, Jeff, and congratulations on joining Arwen in the 100 parodies club! :) :)
Thank you Stu, Oddy, Serafina, JD, Kristof, and AKA!
(SOTM) In the time it takes to pull out the sleeper bed, I can vote three 5's.
(SOTM) DKTOS, but a great read.
(SOTM) Women are so unreasonable.
(SOTM) This is a winner...a lot harder to write than you give yourself credit for.
Thanks Agrimorfee...easy for the content, since I frequent the doghouse quite often!
DKTOS, but know the feeling.
(SOTM) Love this! Reminds me a little of The Man Song (I think that's what it's called) that they play on Bob & Tom, once in awhile (it has lines like "I'm the king of my castle.... when you're not home")
(SOTM) DKTOS, but a good read. :D
I think I've done all of the things you mentioned! Great parody...5.s
DKTOS and up here in Sweden it's most of the time to cold for the doghouse so at now almost supressed times I've ended up sleeping in the bath tub instead (and that time I was really bad and she sneaked up on me after I had fallen asleep there and turned on the cold water... well, I better not go into that any further...)
(SOTM) See above.
(SOTM) see above - ha ha Jeff - some great lines here
(SOTM) Seek relationship help. :-)
(SOTM) Funny concept, brilliantly done. Get up at 5:55 for the kids.
I can only remember the chorus but still very funny and well-written. And tirelessly researched. Great stuff.
(SOTM) I can't believe I didn't comment on this before... I know I left it 5s though. Great read.
Your new parody makes you look fat. I mean, great job, Cindy. *BURP*
(SOTM) Howling 5's.
SOTM--this is still fabulous, Jeff...and I'm still proud of you for reaching 100...=)
I'm sencing a Bundy of love in this relationship...
(ABC3-B) It's your 100th? Jeez, I'm WAY behind. Oh, well. Nice work.
(ABC3) Ditto previous.
(ABC3B) Holy hell, this is freakin' fantastic Jeff! I second all the above comments, except for the DKTOS, as I know it, and this scanned beautifully.
Still great the second time around!
(ABC3-B) wow, this B comp is a doozy! Great laughs, Jeff, and see above - and after shrinking her clothes, no wonder "Your new dress makes you look fat" - great pacing also!
(ABC) "Leaned in for a good night kiss, and burped right in her face", LOL !! See above, twice before!
women eh ! what are they all about !
(ABC3-B) That's what I like about these rounds, Jeff. Some of the great ones I missed the first time around show up and I don't feel I've missed much. Wait, that didn't sound right. This is great, loads of laughs, well-written and fives-worthy. Glad I got to read it. 555 (there, that's a little better, I hope). :-)
(ABC-B)same feeling as I had about this last time, jeff...absolutely first class writing.
