What are the lyrics to Bark Battle and Ball by Platters?

Bark Battle and Ball (_The Platters_)

Chorus

We had a little barkin' dog name of Blue,

When Blue would bark, he really was true blue.

Blue could really sing the notes so high,

The little birds would flock up in they cry.

Chorus

Bark! Battle'n a ball - ball;

Yapple'n with a cat 'till you fall off the wall..

Paw paw pawing a bone 'till my jaw gets sore,

Paw - it ain't fun no more (Blue, get that Ball).

I got Blue from my dear ole grandpappy;

The best of Blue we found in that there family tree.

Grandpappi loved him when'twas only yet a pup;

Grandpappi would sit upon this here old porch and choup:

Chorus

Ole grandpappi went to that place 'round in the sky'way up yon-de-der - way yonder 'side this hill.

That was the end of grandpappi with me;

No-more bark from Blue for that ol' geezer - geezer still.

Chorus
