The Dog Song Lyrics - Get Away From Me - Nellie Mckay

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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
