Nellie McKay - The Dog Song Lyrics
I'm just a walkin' my dogsingin' my songstrollin' alongyeah it's just me and my dogcatchin' some sunwe can't go wrongMy life was lonely and blueyeah I was sad as a sailorI was an angry 'un tooThen there was youappeared, when I was entangledwith youth, and fear, and nervesjingle janglevermouth and beerwere gettin' me mangled upBut then I looked in your eyesand I was no more a failureyou looked so wacky and wiseand I said, lord I'm happy'cause I'm just a walkin' my dogsingin' my songstrollin' alongit's just me and my dogcatchin' some sunwe can't go wrong'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubtand I don't care what the politicians spoutif you wanna companionwell just go right to the poundand find yourself a houndand make that doggie proud'cause that's what it's all aboutMy life was tragic and sadyeah I was the archetypal loserI was a pageant gone badThen there was you on timeand wagging your tailin the cutest mimeand you was in jailI said woof, be mineand you gave a wailand then I was no longer aloneand I was no more a boozerwe'll make the happiest homeand I said lord I'm happy'cause I'm just a walkin' my dogsingin' my songstrollin' alongit's just me and my dogcatchin' some sunwe can't go wrong'cause I don't care 'bout your hatin' and your doubtand I don't care what the politicians spoutif you need a companionwell just go right to the poundand find yourself a houndand make that doggie proud'cause that's what it's all aboutthat's what it's all aboutthat's what it's all abow-wow-wow-woutthat's what it's all about
