Walkin' the Dog - Ray Stevens

Seems we’ve forgotten the love we once vowed

Lately, discussions have gotten quite loud

Time to admit we live under a cloud

Where two is company and three is a crowd

We’re living here, you see, just the dog, you and me

I get along with everyone but you

All we do is scream and shout, can’t remember what about

Why we stay together, I don’t have a clue

I’ve had all that I can bear, I just gotta get some air

And Rover says he’d like a breather too

So I’ll be walkin' the dog (Walkin' the dog)

In case anyone wants to know (In case anyone wants to know)

He digs my monologue (My monologue)

He likes the places we go (Likes the places we go)

Through rain, sleet, snow or fog

I’ll be walkin' the dog (Walkin' the dog)

When we reach driveway’s end, I’ll defer to man’s best friend

Who’s in deep consultation with his nose

Rover’s really quite a scout and when he picks out a route

Ain’t no changin' course, that’s where we go

And out here on the street, you never know who you might meet

There’s a lot of other folks with pooches too

And you never can tell, I might fall under a spell

And meet someone to take the place of you

So I’ll be walkin' the pup (Walkin' the pup)

Loggin' mile after mile (Mile after mile after mile)

Take my advice, don’t wait up (Don't wait up)

We could be gone for a while (Gone for a while)

Yeah, Rover’s leadin' the way

No need to join Triple A

Through rain, sleet, snow or fog

I’ll be walkin' the dog (Walkin' the dog)

Alright, you ready, Rover?

Yeah, I locked up your doghouse

Heh, let’s mosey

Oh, there’s a nice little place over there

Yeah, you’re gonna leave 'em a little present on the lawn, are you?

Well, be sure and leave it close to the mailbox

That way, they’ll know you were here, heh-heh

Oh, and there’s a nice f‌ire hydrant over there too, yeah
