Take a little stroll by the riverside, smoke a cigarette there in the dark

And a man has to carry him a plastic bag on his person at all times

 F                                                 C
When a dog dumps on a sidewalk, walkin' away is a crime

Walkin' with a dog is a kind of a job, make you feel like a fool and a jerk

Living in the city, workin' like a dog  (work out)

(Spoken) It's a pretty good way to meet a woman, if a woman is walking a dog

          F                                                              C
Just say, what's her name, how old is she, it's easy like rolling off a log

                G7                      C
Checkin' out a woman, man acting like a dog
[Verse 6]

Walkin' with dog in the winter, in the wind, in the rain, in the snow is a drag

     F                                                                    C
It's hard as hell to keep a cigarette lit and get the shit in the plastic bag

When a man has a dog in the city ... (very long pause with harmonies) ... 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
