Lyrics:

(Rufus Thomas)

East Memphis Music Corp. BMI



Baby's back dressed in black

Silver buttons all down her back

High ho tipsy toe

She broke the needle now she can't sew



Walking the dog

Just a-walking the dog

Well if you don't know how to do it

I'll show you how to walk the dog.



Mary Mary quite contrary

How does your garden grow

Silver bells and cockle shells

And pretty maids all in a row.



Walking the dog

Just a-walking the dog

Well if you don't know how to do it

I'll show you how to walk the dog.



(Sax Solo)



Hey diddle diddle

The cats got the fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

He jumped so high touched the sky

Didn't come back till the fourth of July.



Walking the dog

Just a-walking the dog

Well if you don't know how to do it

I'll show you how to walk the dog.
