Walking the Dog

Baby's back, dressd in black
silver buttons all down her back
High, low, tipsy toe
she broke a needle and she can't sew
Walkin' the dog
just a-walkin' her dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how the walk the dog (come on dog, come on)
Asked the fellow for fifteen cents
see the fellow he jumped the fence
Jumped so high he touched the sky
never got back till the fourth of July
Walkin' the dog
just a-walkin' her dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how the walk the dog (come on dog, come on)
Walkin' the dog
just a-walkin' her dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how the walk the dog (come on dog, come on)
