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
