Shangri-Las Bull Dog Lyrics:
I'm in love with the pretiest boy in the USA.
(Hey, what'dya say? Hey, what'dya say?)
I'm in love with the pretiest boy in the USA.
(What'dya say? I said, hey.)
But his momma bought a dog,
Just to keep little me away.
(Hey, what'dya say? Hey, what'dya say?)
You know he barks when he sees me,
Growls everytime I touch his hair.
(Big bad Bull Dog, that big bad Bull Dog.)
You know he barks when he sees me,
Growls everytime I touch his hair.
(Big bad Bull Dog, that big bad Bull Dog.)
And everytime I shoo him, he tries to bite a leg,
But I dont care.
(Big bad Bull Dog, that big bad dog.)
[Instrumental break featuring harmonica.]
Hey, hey, hey-hey.
You know his momma keeps that dog chained,
Out on the porch all night.
(Big bad Bull Dog, that big bad Bull Dog.)
You know his momma keeps that dog chained,
Out on the porch all night.
(Big bad Bull Dog, that big bad Bull Dog.)
You know he barks like a charm,
But then he don't bite.
(Big bad Bull Dog, that big bad dog.)

[1] Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss
[1a] , formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."]
[1a] Because Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.]
