Walking the Dog by Rufus Thomas

Baby, back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tippy toes
She broke the needle and she can sew

Walkin' the dog
Just a walkin' the dog
If you don’t know how to do it
I’ll show you how to walk the dog
C’mon now, c’mon, c'mon

I asked her mother for fifteen cents
See you ever jumped the fence
He jumped so high, he touched the sky
Never got back ’til a quarter to five

Walkin' the dog
Just a walkin' the dog
If you don’t know how to do it
I’ll show you how to walk the dog
C’mon now, c’mon, c'mon

Mary, Mary, what’s your twelve?
Tell me, how does your garden grow?
You got silver bells and you got cockle shells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walkin' the dog
Just a walkin' the dog
If you don’t know how to do it
I’ll show you how to walk the dog
C’mon now, c’mon, c'mon

Oh, oh, just a, just a, just a walkin'
Just a, just a, just a walkin'
Just a, just a, just a walkin'
Oh, yeah, if you don’t know how to do it
I’ll show you how to walk the dog

Oh, oh, ooh
J-J-J, just a walkin'
J-J-J, just a walkin'
Oh, ooh, oh
Just a, just a, just a walkin'
