Mary Mack dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
I know, ‘cause I love her so
She broke her needle now she can't sew

Walkin' the dog
Walkin' the dog
Now if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Ask my mama for fifty cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high it hit the sky
Never got back 'til the fourth July

Walkin' the dog
Walkin' the dog
Lord, if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow
You got silver bells and little white shells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walkin' the dog
Walkin' the dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

(Instrumental)

Ask my mama for fifty cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high it hit the sky
Never got back 'til the fourth July

Walkin' the dog
Walkin' the dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
