All Around the Block
[Verse 1]
Walking the doggie all around the block
Workers and lurkers out at 9 o’clock
We scan the newsstand, say hi to our friends
The dog gets treats from kids she meets ’til we’re home again

[Chorus]
I’m just out to walk my hound
We just take a stroll around
We get home and then lie down
That’s just what we do

We scan the newsstand, just ??? stock
The news is bad but the dog is glad, all around the block

[Verse 2]
Snuffling and shuffling all around the block
She goes sniffing at some pigeon, gives them quite a shock
They scatter, I pat her, we’re each proud of our role
I’m her sitter, she’s my critter, we’re out on patrol

[Chorus]
I’m just out to walk my hound
We just take a stroll around
We get home and then lie down
That’s just what we do
Snuffling and shuffling, ain’t no bird can flock
When we cross, birds know who’s boss, all around the block

[Verse 3]
Hoofing and woofing all around the block
Wind is blowing, snow is snowing, the trees all reel and rock
I’d be happy to stay and wait about
That sounds nice, but it’s no dice, the doggie must go out

[Chorus]
I’m just out to walk my hound
We just take a stroll around
We get home and then lie down
That’s just what we do

Hoofing and woofing all around the block
Come heartbreak, come earthquake, the doggie I will walk
