Nellie McKay - The Dog Song lyrics

rate me

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

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 jangled

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 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

My life was tragic and sad

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

why just go on by 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 about

that's what it's all abow-wow-wow

that's what it's all about

(pant) (pant) (pant) (pant) (pant) good dog
