If the cat got your tongue, what has the dog got of yours? I know some people use the phrase, my dogs are barking, to state that their feet are hurting. So, wouldn’t it stand to reason that the dog got your feet? If you are on your feet all day working like a dog, and your dogs are barking, you can get dog-tired. Often, when you are dog-tired, your eyes get droopy, or maybe Droopy, the dog, gets your eyes? If your feet are always sore, you might want to invest in new shoes, especially if an old man has been playing knick-knack paddywhack on yours. Do yourself a favor, give a dog a bone, and buy yourself a new pair.
If you find yourself doing what the song also says and come rolling home (probably drunk), you might want to have some hair of the dog that bit you. I would assume the same is true for a pooch, which maybe had too much hooch, only they would have some hair of the human instead. It would appear a cat only gets your tongue; meanwhile, a dog gets your feet, eyes, bones, and hair. Now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag about that, I wonder, “Who Let the Dogs Out?” and out of what, for that matter.
