The Dog Song

Lyrics

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
 Good dog
