I'm a-walkin' the dog
And i'm never blue
I'm a-walkin' the dog
I ain't thinkin' 'bout you
Don't need no one
To tie me down
I'm a-walkin' the dog
And a-paintin' the town
Such an easy life
I never knew
Until the day
That i left you
Well, i'm a carefree lad
That's seen the light
I'm a-walkin' the dog
All the day and all night
Well, i'm full of pep
I just can't grow old
I got a one-track mind
So i've been told
But i'm fancy free
I don't worry no how
And, i'm walkin' the dog
All the law will allow
Such an easy life
I never knew
I can't believe
It's really true
Well, i'm a carefree lad
That's seen the light
And i'm a-walkin' the dog
All the day and all night

I'm a-walkin' the dog
And i'm never blue
I'm a-walkin' that dog
I not thinkin' 'bout you
I don't need no one
To tie me down
'cause i'm walkin' that dog
And a-paintin' the town
Such an easy life
I never knew
Well, i can't believe
That it's really true
Well, i'm a carefree gal
That's seen the light
And i'm a-walkin' that dog
All the day and all night
Well, i'm full of pep
I just can't grow old
I got a one-track mind
So i've been told
But i'm fancy free
I don't worry no how
'cause i'm walkin' that dog
All the law will allow
Such an easy life
I never knew
Until the day
That i left you
Well, i'm a carefree gal
That's seen the light
And i'm walkin' that dog
All the day and all night
