Lyrics

Baby's back
Dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High low, tippy toe
She broke the needle and she can sew

Walking the dog
just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon

I asked her mother for fifteen cents
I see the elephant jump the fence
He jumped so high, touched the sky
Never got back 'til the fourth of July

Walking the dog
I'm just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon c'mon now

Mary Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow
You got silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row

Walking the dog
I'm just a walking 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


Yeah just a walking
Uh just a walking
Uh just a walking
Now, if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now c'mon
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
