The Jeffrey Lewis, Peter Stampfel Band - All Around the Block lyrics

Walking the doggie all around the block
Workers and lurkers out at 9 o’clock
We scan the newsstand
Say "Hi!" to our friends
The dog gets treats from kids she
Meets ’til we’re home again

I’m just out to walk my hound
We just take a stroll around
We get home and then lie down
That’s just what we do
We scan the newsstand, just?? stock
The news is bad but the dog is glad
All around the block

Snuffling and shuffling all around the block
She goes sniffing at some pigeon
Gives them quite a shock
They scatter, I pat her
We’re each proud of our role
I’m her sitter, she’s my critter
We’re out on patrol

I’m just out to walk my hound
We just take a stroll around
We get home and then lie down
That’s just what we do

Snuffling and shuffling
Ain’t no bird can flock
When we cross, birds know who’s boss
All around the block

Hoofing and woofing all around the block
Wind is blowing, snow is snowing
The trees all reel and rock
I’d be happy to stay and wait about
That sounds nice, but it’s no dice
The doggie must go out

I’m just out to walk my hound
We just take a stroll around
We get home and then lie down
That’s just what we do
Hoofing and woofing all around the block
Come heartbreak, come earthquake
The doggie I will walk
