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
