Just found this song and I LOVE IT Haha the music is great, her voice is great...and the lyrics kick butt
The Dog Song - by 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 need a companion / Well just go right to the pound / And find yourself a hound / And make that doggy 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 doggy 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 !!
Here's a live performance of the song, the sound is not that great, but I still love it
