Walking the Dog Songtext
von John Cale

Baby′s back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hey ho, tipsy toe
She broke her needle and she can't sew

I asked my mother for fifteen cents
To watch an elephant jump the fence
Jumped so high it hit the sky
Didn′t get back 'til the fourth of July

Walk, walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin′ the dog
Walk, walkin′ the dog, walk, walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin′ the dog
Walk, walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin′ the dog, walk, walkin' the dog


I asked my mother for fifteen cents
To watch an elephant jump the fence
Jumped so high it hit the sky
Didn′t get back 'til the fourth of July, ay-ay-ay-ay

Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hey ho, tipsy toe
She broke her needle and she can′t sew, ohoh

Walk, walkin′ the dog
Walk, walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin′ the dog, walk, walkin' the dog, wow wow wow
Walkin′ the dog
Walk, walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin′ the dog, walk, walkin' the dog
Wow wow wow wow wow wow
