This is how I think it goes, just talked to my girlfriend about it last night:

Watch dog bark on a hot summer night,
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
watch dog bark, though he bite,
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
slip in his window, break his neck,
then his house I start to wreck,
got no reason, what the heck!
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
C-I-L-L my landlord.

Kill my landlord, kill my landlord, kill my landlord.

There was another one where he was doing 'ghetto poetry' like

the grass be green,
the sky be blue,
kill the landlord.

Does anyone know where I can find that one?
