Unfortunately, there’s no known recording of it that exists anymore. Enjoy the lyrics and feel free to make your own recording/cover.

Verse 1

I am a man who walks alone
And when I’m walking a dark road
At night, or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it’s dark

Chorus

Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
I have a constant fear that doggie’s always near
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
I have a phobia that doggie’s always there

Verse 2

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you’re searching for the light?
Sometimes when you’re scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You’ve sensed that something’s watching you

Chorus

Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
I have constant fear that doggie’s always near
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
I have a phobia that doggie’s always there

Verse 3

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around, and no one’s there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you’re sure there’s someone there

Chorus

Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
I have constant fear that doggie’s always near
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
I have a phobia that doggie’s always there

Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
Fear of the bark, fear of the bark
