[Verse 1]
Mary Mack, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High to low, tip to toe
She broke a needle and she can't sew
[Chorus]
Walkin' the dog
Just a-walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
C'mon now, c'mon, c'mon
[Verse 2]
Asked my mama for fifteen cent
See the elephant jump the fence
He jumped so high, he touched the sky
Never got back 'til the Fourth of July
[Chorus]
Walkin' the dog
Just a-walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to 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]
Walkin' the dog
Just a-walkin' 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
[Outro]
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'll show you how to walk the dog
Oh
Just-a, just-a, just-a, just-a, just-a, just a-walkin'
Just-a, just-a, just-a, just-a, just-a, just-a, just a-walkin'
Oh, oh, whoa
Just-a, just-a, just a-walkin'
