Three Dog Night

Three Dog Night is an American rock band best known for their music from 1968 to 1975. This highly successful vocal-centric rock band formed in 1968 with a lineup consisting of Danny Hutton, Cory Wells and Chuck Negron. The three lead singers were backed by Jimmy Greenspoon (organ), Joe Schermie (bass), Mike Allsup (guitar) and Floyd Sneed (drums). With their distinctive and sometimes extraordinary harmonic blend, the band registered an impressive 21 Billboard Top 40 hits (with three hitting number one) between 1969 and 1975.

Of himself and a fox
He's a feeling arranger
And a changer
Of the ways he talks
He's the unforeseen danger
The keeper of
The key to the locks
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner

If you see him in the subway
He'll be down
At the end of the car

Until he knows
He knows who you are
When you get off
At your station alone
He'll know that you are
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner

There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago
She had something
That he needed
And he pleaded
With her not to go
On the day that she left
He died
But it did not show
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner
