Released: January 5, 1973

Songwriter: Rufus Thomas

Producer: Adrian Barber

[Verse 1]
Mary Mac, all dressed in black
Silver buttons up and down her back
High, low, tipsy toe
She broke a needle now she can't sew

[Chorus]
Walkin' the dog
I'm just walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

[Verse 2]
Ask my mama for 15 cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high it touched the sky
Didn't come back 'til the 4th of July

[Chorus]
Walkin' the dog
I'm just walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

[Interlude]
Ha, uh, ha, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh

[Instrumental Breaks]

[Verse 3]
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Well well, silver bells and little bitty bitty white shells
Pretty maids all in a row

[Chorus]
Walkin' your dog
I'm just walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Aerosmith

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
