Mary Mack dressed in black

Silver buttons all down her back

I know, ‘cause I love her so

She broke her needle now she can't sew



Walkin' the dog

Walkin' the dog

Now if you don't know how to do it

I'll show you how to walk the dog



Ask my mama for fifty cents

To see the elephant jump the fence

It jumped so high it hit the sky

Never got back 'til the fourth July



Walkin' the dog

Walkin' the dog

Lord, 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

You got silver bells and little white shells

Pretty maids all in a row



Walkin' the dog

Walkin' the dog

Well if you don't know how to do it

I'll show you how to walk the dog



(Instrumental)



Ask my mama for fifty cents

Walkin' the dog

Walkin' the dog

Well if you don't know how to do it

I'll show you how to walk the dog
