I'm just a walkin' my dog
|
Singin' my song
|
Strollin' along
|
Yeah it's just me and my dog
|
Catchin' some sun
|
We can't go wrong
|
|
My life was lonely and blue
|
Yeah I was sad as a sailor
|
I was an angry 'un too
|
Then there was you
|
Appeared, when I was entangled
|
With youth, and fear, and nerves
|
Jingle jangle
|
Vermouth and beer
|
Were gettin' me mangled up
|
|
But then I looked in your eyes
|
And I was no more a failure
|
You looked so wacky and wise
|
And I said, lord I'm happy
|
'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
|
Singin' my song
|
Strollin' along
|
It's just me and my dog
|
Catchin' some sun
|
We can't go wrong
|
'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
|
And I don't care what the politicians spout
|
If you wanna companion
|
Well just go right to the pound
|
And find yourself a hound
|
And make that doggie proud
|
'cause that's what it's all about
|
|
My life was tragic and sad
|
Yeah I was the archetypal loser
|
I was a pageant gone bad
|
Then there was you on time
|
And wagging your tail
|
In the cutest mime
|
And you was in jail
|
I said woof, be mine
|
And you gave a wail
|
And then I was no longer alone
|
And I was no more a boozer
|
We'll make the happiest home
|
And I said lord I'm happy
|
'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
|
Singin' my song
|
Strollin' along
|
It's just me and my dog
|
Catchin' some sun
|
We can't go wrong
|
'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
|
And I don't care what the politicians spout
|
If you need a companion
|
Well just go right to the pound
|
And find yourself a hound
|
And make that doggie proud
|
'cause that's what it's all about
|
That's what it's all about
|
That's what it's all abow-wow-wow-wout
|
That's what it's all about
|
