- Salty Dog Lyrics / with translationsSalty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candy man
Two old maids sittin' in the sand
One were a she
The other were a man
Salty dog, candy man
Worst day I ever had in my life
My best friend caught him kissin' his wife
Salty dog, candy man
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candy man
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candy man
Two old maids sittin' in the sand
One were a she
The other were a man
Salty dog, candy man
Worst day I ever had in my life
Salty dog, candy man
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candy man
