the dog song

Singer:mckay, nellie

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
