The verses aren't all sung exactly the same, but you have the notes you need.  Listen to the attached sound files.  There's one in the usual place where it says "Midi", and here's another:

A  mean dog is  mov-in' in.

She told me not to mess around,
But I done let the deal go down.
Move it on over. Rock it on over.
Move over nice dog, a big, 
Fat dog is movin' in.

She changed the lock on my back door,
Now my key won't fit no more.
Move it on over. Rock it on over.
Move over nice dog, a mean, 
Old dog is movin' in.

She threw me out just as pretty as she pleased.
Pretty soon I've been scratchin' fleas.
Move it on over. Slide it on over.
Move over nice dog, a mean,
Old dog is movin' in.

Yeah! Listen to me dog before you start to whine,
That side's yours and this side's mine.
Move it on over. Rock it on over.
Move over little dog, 
A big, old dog is movin' in.

Yeah! She changed the lock on my back door,
Now my key won't fit no more.
Move it on over. Rock it on over.
Move over little dog, 
A big, old dog is movin' in.

Move it on over. Move it on over.
Move it on over. Won't'cha rock it on over.
Move over cool dogs, a hot dog's movin' in.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
