There was a lady in a window in the room across the way
B A E
E B
I couldn't help but see everything 'cause I was peeping I confess
B A E
Still after dinner every night, she had the strangest guest
She'd retire to her favorite chair and sit there with a dog
Fill the crystal glasses while the fire danced on the log
I watched them drink their bubbly brew until the fire grew dim
Then I stuck my head out the window and said why not me instead of him
Chorus
A B E A
Oh your bulldog drinks champagne and I ain't one to complain
E B
What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be
E A E A
so honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over
E C#m A B E
'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk would have to be good to me
Fourteen days and fourteen nights not one word did I hear
Her with her silk and champagne over to me in my shorts with a beer
She just left the curtains wide and I knew she knew I could see
Her and the pug-nosed mutt guzzling wine and teasing me
Chorus
So I made a bolder move, I went over and rang her bell
I heard growling from inside and I got scared as hell
Then the bulldog staggered out the door and he said, how do yo do
But the lady bit me on the leg and I said r-rouf, I love you too
Chorus
