The Dog Song — текст песни (Nellie McKay)

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
