"Walkin' the Dog" is a song written by
Shelton Brooks in 1916. Written for the Dancing Follies of 1916, its chorus is:
- Get way back, and snap your fingers,
- Get over Sally, one and all,
- Grab your gal, and don't you linger
- Do that slow-drag 'round the hall.
- Do that step, the "Texas Tommy" drop,
- Like you're sitting on a log,
- Rise slow, that will show,
- The dance called Walkin' the Dog.
