Lyrics
When a man has a dog in the city
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
And a man has to carry him a plastic bag on his person at all times
When a dog dumps on the sidewalk, walking away is a crime
Living in the city
Man walking with a dog
A man likes living in the city (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 of other mutts
Checking in front, checking in back, no ifs no ands just butts
Living in the city
Dog checking on a dog
Its a pretty good way to meet a woman
If a woman is walking a dog you just say
What's her name?
How old is she?
Its easy like rolling off a log
Checking out a woman
Man acting like a dog
But when a man has a fight with a woman
A man needs to go for a walk
Walking with a dog is easy, he listens he don't talk
Talking to a dog
Talk to me!
(Woof woof!)
Walking with a dog in the winter in
The wind in the rain in the snow is a drag
Its hard as hell to keep a cigarette
Lit and get the shit in the plastic bag
Living in the city
Man walking with a dog
When a man has a dog in the city (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
Woof, woof... woof, woof, woof!
