The Dog Song Lyrics by Nellie McKay

The Dog Song Lyrics

    I'm just a walkin' my dog
    singin' my song
    strollin' along
    yeah 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 jangle
    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 wanna 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
    yeah 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
    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
    that's what it's all about
    that's what it's all abow-wow-wow-wout
    that's what it's all about
