Up steps a cat, now don't be slow..s-
get me two hot dogs ready to go.e-
CHORUS:
DHot dog, she's my baby..Ahot dog, drives me crazy.
Hot Ddog, don't mean maybe..
You Eought to see my baby in a hot dog Astand.

AIn the cool of the evening when the sun goes down..
all the cats and the chicks all gather round.
They order hot dogs and red soda pop..
then they head downtown to a Hep Cat Hop.

She closes up the top and then we lose ourselves.
At a Hep Cat Hop any crazy way..
we're doin' The Bop till the break of day.

Hot Ddog, she's my baby..hot Adog, drives me crazy.
Hot Ddog, don't mean maybe..
You Eought to see my baby in a hot dog Astand.

ANow the cats here now been hangin' around,
trying to get my baby, trying to put me down.
She either don't hear, she either don't care.
Maybe it's the way that I brush my hair,
CHORUS:
DHot dog, she's my baby..hot Adog, drives me crazy.
Hot Ddog, don't mean maybe..
You Eought to see my baby in a hot dog Astand.
