[Verse 1]
The old hound dog was feelin' fine
Till he fell in a barrel of turpentine

[Chorus]
Now he's movin' on
Yes, he's movin' on
Well he went through that gate
Like an eighty-eight
He's movin' on

[Verse 2]
My old tom cat gets real, real mean
When his tail gets caught in the sewin' machine

[Chorus]
He's movin' on
Whoa, he's movin' on
Well I believe he bust a stitch
When he jumped across that ditch
But he's movin' on

[Verse 3]
Before I hired a man to work on our car
And he took a hold of the spark plug wire
[Chorus]
Now he's movin' on
Yes, he's movin' on
Well now, he turned them a loose
When he felt the juice
Now he's movin' on

[Verse 4]
We met a fella who had came from the city
And he had stood down and picked up a pretty, little kitty

[Chorus]
Now he's movin' on
Oh, he's movin' on
Well now, we held our nose
Till he buried his clothes
Now he's movin' on

[Verse 5]
Old man John got real, real clean
When he slipped and fell into his washing machine

[Chorus]
Now he's movin' on
Whoa, he's movin' on
I'm tellin' you, the old man just couldn't straddle
That doggone paddle
Now he's movin' on
[Verse 6]
Old man [?] got as white as a sheet
When he fell in a cream of wheat

[Chorus]
Now he's movin' on
Yes, he's movin' on
I'm telling you, he wiggled his ears
And shifted his gears
Now he's movin' on
