Man & dog

When a man has a dog in the city,
A man needs to walk in the park,
Take a little stroll by the riverside,
Smoke a cigarette there in the dark,
Living in the city,
Man, living with a dog.

When a man has to carry a plastic bag
On his person at all times,
When a dog dumps on the side walk,
Walking away is a crime,
Living in the city,
Man walking with a dog.

A man likes living in the city,
But a man has to find some work,
Walking with a dog is a kind of a job,
Make you feel like a fool and a jerk,
Living in the city,
Working like a dog.

Work out.

Dog likes living in the city,
In the city there's a lot o' other mutts,
Checking in front, checking in back,
No ifs, no ands, just butts
Living in the city,
Dog checking out a dog.

It's a pretty good way to meet a women,
If a women is walking her dog,
You just say, ?What's her name??, ?How old is she??
It's easy like rolling off a log,
Checking out a women,
Man acting like a dog.

When a man has a fight with a women,
A man needs to go for a walk,
Walking with a dog is easy,
He listens, he don't talk,
Heh,
Talking to a dog.

Talk to me.

Walking with a dog in the winter, in the wind,
In the rain, in the snow's a drag,
It's hard as hell to keep a cigarette lit,
And get the shit in a plastic bag,
Living in the city,
Man walking with a dog.

When a man has a dog in the city (City),
A man needs to walk in the park,
Take a little stroll by the riverside,
Smoke a cigarette there in the dark,
Living in the city,
Man, living with a dog.
