Nellie McKay - The Dog Song lyrics
[Nellie McKay - 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
(pant, pant, pant, pant, pant) good dog
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
