Song One:

---

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 wanna companion
well just go right to the pound
and find yourself a hound
and make that doggie 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 doggie 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

Song Two:

---

My oh my walkin’ by
who’s the apple of my eye
why it’s my very own
clonie
oh if I should stroll the ‘hood
who knew I could look so good
just talkin’ on the phone to
clonie
we are pals
it’s cool ‘cause we’re not lonely
shallow gene pool
there’s nothing to my only
clonie
me and you, hustlin’ through
holdin’ on through thick and thin
just day by day our DNA
‘cause the Olsen twins got nothin’ on us
we’ll survive
side by side
Mother Nature don’t you call her phony
she’s my clonie
