So when I stepped offstage tonight
I looked down the bar with oh, such fright
All of those traps, that bait to bite
But then I recalled
I had a secret weapon packed
Smack-dab on my heart, oh to combat
All of the offers to go off-track
And wander from you
I've been a tough pup to keep tied up
I've got some rover in my blood...
But when I'm getting that itch to roam
Well it's this hanky panky handkerchief
I kiss that takes me home alone
Ah baby, all I need is each night to find a little token of you
Oh, to remind of my beautiful prize, and what I could lose
So darlin' since you slipped me that silky string satiny secret thing
Into my breast pocket, that devilish deposit
Has got me locked down
I've been a tough pup to keep tied up
I've got some rover in my blood
But when I'm getting that itch to roam
Well it's this hanky panky handkerchief
I kiss that takes me home alone
Don't worry darlin'
If I leave the porch tonight
You know that I'm all bark and no bite
Just a little strollin'
For a window-shopping soul
But I've got my lacy leash here, in tow
I've been a tough pup to keep tied up
I've got some rover in my blood
But when I'm getting that itch to roam
Well it's this hanky panky handkerchief
I kiss that takes me home alone
Well it's this hanky panky handkerchief
I kiss that takes me home alone
Well it's this hanky panky handkerchief
I kiss that takes me home alone
