John Cale Lyrics

Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hey ho, tipsy toe
She broke a needle and she can't sew

Walkin' the dog
Walk-walkin' the dog

Asked my mother for fifteen cents
Too see the elephant jump the fence
Jumped so high he hit the sky
Never got back till the fourth of July

Walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin' the dog
Walk, walkin' the dog
walkin' the dog

Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hey ho tipsy toe
She broke a needle and she can't sew

Walkin' the dog...
