Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mary Mack, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High, low, tipsy toe
She broke a needle and she can't sew
[Chorus]
Walking the dog
Just walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how the walk the dog
C'mon now, c'mon, c'mon
[Verse 2]
Asked my mama for fifteen cents
See the elephant jump the fence
He jumped so high he touched the sky
Never got back till the 4th of July
[Chorus]
Walking the dog
Just walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how the walk the dog
C'mon now, c'mon, c'mon
[Verse 3]
Mary, Mary, quite contrary tell me
How does your garden grow?
You got silver bells
And you got cockle shells
Pretty maids all in a row
[Chorus]
Walking the dog
Just walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
Show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now, c'mon, c'mon
[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh
Just-just-just walking
Just-just-just walking
Just-just-just walking
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
J-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-just walking
J-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-just walking
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Just-just-just walking
