Текст Ray Stevens – Walkin’ The Dog

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’s 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
Seems we always scream end 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 walking the dog
In case anyone wants to know
He digs my monologue
He likes the places we go
Thru rain, sleet, snow or fog
I’ll be walkin’ the dog.

Well when I reach the driveways end, I’ll defer to man’s best friend
Who’s in deep consultation with his nose
Yeah Rover’s really quite a scout and when he picks out a route —
There’s no changin’ course that’s where we go

And out here on the street
You never know who you might meet
There are lots 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 walking the pup
Loggin’ mile after mile
Take my advice, don’t wait up

Rover’s leadin’ the way
No need to join Triple A,
Thru rain, sleet, snow or fog
I’ll be walkin’ the dog

Ok, you ready Rover,
Yeah I locked up your doghouse… (Let’s mosey)

There’s a nice little place over there
Oh, you’re gonna leave ’em a little present on the lawn are you?
We 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…
