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
