The Dog Song
Nellie McKay

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

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
