Why Walk a Dog? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why does a dog need to be walked?
Three birds fighting out in the yard
But I don’t know what they’re fighting about
So why does a dog need to listen
Whenever you shout?

These cats seem to blow
Everyone’s mind, but mine
What is so funny
About beasts above understanding?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Are you their master?
Did you buy them at the store?
Did they know they were a cure
For you to stop being bored?

So somebody mated them
And took their babies away from them
Stuck a price tag on their nose
And now you’re buying it clothes

[Outro]
So, why does a dog need to be walked?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
