Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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'll show you how to walk the dog.
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'll show you how to walk the dog.
Come on now, come on, come on!

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
tell me, how does your garden grow?

You got silver bells,
and you got cockleshells.
Could you make it all in a row?

Walkin' the dog,
just 'a walkin' the dog.

If you don't know how to do it,
show you how to walk the dog.
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'll 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.
