[Chorus]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, they said that you was high classed
That was just a lie
Well, they said that you was high classed
That was just a lie
You ain't never caught no rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

[Chorus][x2]

[Pre-Chorus]

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
