Lyrics
Rolling, bong it
Take five
Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hoes, and tippie toes
She broke the needle, but she don't sew
Walkin' the dog
I'm just a walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
I asked the mother for 50 cents
I see the end then I jumped the fence
I jumped so high, I touched the sky
Tinging it back 'til the corner, that's why
Walkin' the dog
I'm just a walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hoes, and tippie toes
She broke the needle, but she don't sew
Walkin' the dog
I'm just a walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
Just a walkin'
Just a walkin'
Just a walkin'
Just a walkin'
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
