Lyrics

[00:07.03] I'm just a walkin' my dog
[00:09.47] singin' my song
[00:11.17] strollin' along
[00:13.65] yeah it's just me and my dog
[00:16.12] catchin' some sun
[00:17.82] we can't go wrong
[00:20.30]
[00:21.40] My life was lonely and blue
[00:24.59] yeah I was sad as a sailor
[00:27.95] I was an angry 'un too
[00:31.42] Then there was you
[00:34.40] appeared, when I was entangled
[00:36.63] with youth, and fear, and nerves
[00:39.15] jingle jangle
[00:39.99] vermouth and beer
[00:41.88] were gettin\' me mangled up
[00:44.82] But then I looked in your eyes
[00:48.12] and I was no more a failure
[00:51.53] you looked so wacky and wise
[00:54.73] and I said, lord I'm happy
[00:56.83] 'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
[00:59.52] singin' my song
[01:01.19] strollin' along
[01:03.66] it's just me and my dog
[01:06.22] catchin' some sun
[01:07.93] we can't go wrong
[01:10.19] 'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
[01:13.53] and I don't care what the politicians spout
[01:16.43] if you need a companion
[01:18.31] well just go right to the pound
[01:20.31] and find yourself a hound
[01:21.93] and make that doggie proud
[01:23.63] 'cause that's what it's all about
[01:27.48]
[01:34.89] My life was tragic and sad
[01:38.08] yeah I was the archetypal loser
[01:41.52] I was a pageant gone bad
[01:44.97] Then there was you on time
[01:48.72] and wagging your tail
[01:50.06] in the cutest mime
[01:52.12] and you was in jail
[01:53.51] I said woof, be mine
[01:55.46] and you gave a wail
[01:56.80] and then I was no longer alone
[02:01.64] and I was no more a boozer
[02:05.00] we'll make the happiest home
[02:08.26] and I said lord I'm happy
[02:10.21] 'cause I'm just a walkin' my dog
[02:13.04] singin' my song
[02:14.69] strollin' along
[02:17.15] it's just me and my dog
[02:19.69] catchin' some sun
[02:21.38] we can't go wrong
[02:23.63] 'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubt
[02:27.03] and I don't care what the politicians spout
[02:29.90] if you need a companion
[02:31.74] well just go right to the pound
[02:33.75] and find yourself a hound
[02:35.38] and make that doggie proud
[02:37.03] 'cause that's what it's all about
[02:40.32] that's what it's all about
[02:43.69] that's what it's all abow-wow-wow-wout
[02:47.16] that's what it's all about
[02:52.18] (Pant, pant, pant, pant, pant)
[02:54.00] Good dog
