Текст песни: Nellie McKay. Get Away from Me. The Dog Song.

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

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
