Anna gets a lot of attention when she walks her dog in a super-short miniskirt. She has on a purple and scarlet miniskirt and long-sleeve purple top. If you haven’t already figured it out, her pooch is really a pouch.
Walkin’ the dog
Just a-walkin’ the dog
If you don’t know how to do it
I can show you how to walk the dog
–Walkin’ The Dog, Rufus Thomas (1963)
Rufus Thomas: WALKIN’ THE DOG
Mary Mac dressed in black,
silver buttons all down her back.
How low tips her toe,
she broke the needle and she can’t sew.
Walkin’ the dog,
just a-walkin’ the dog.
If you don’t know how to do it,
I can show you how to walk the dog.
(whistle) Come on now, come on, come on!
I 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 Fourth of July.
Walkin’ the dog,
just a-walkin’ the dog.
If you don’t know how to do it,
I can show you how to walk the dog.
(whistle) Come on now, come on, come on!
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
tell me, how does your garden grow?
Ah you got silver bells,
and you got cockleshells.
And pretty maids all in a row
Walkin’ the dog,
just a-walkin’ the dog.
If you don’t know how to do it,
I can show you how to walk the dog.
(whistle) Come on now, come on, come on!
Oh, oh,
just a, just a, just a-walkin’,
just a, just a, just a-walkin’,
just a, just a, just a-walkin’, oh yeah!
If you don’t know how to do it,
I can show you how to walk the dog.
O-ooh woh,
j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-just a-walkin’,
j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-just a-walkin’,
oh wo-oh.
If you don’t know how to do it,
I can show you how to walk the dog.
