You salty dog
Hey, hey, hey, you salty dog
Said, the big fish, little fish swimmin' in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my quarter
Says, God made a woman, he made 'em mighty funny
The lips 'round her mouth, just as sweet as any honey
Hey, hey, hey, you salty dog
Uncle Bud like to caught me kissin' his wife
Hey, hey, you salty dog
You salty dog
Salty dog
