Gee, it's great
after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and
farm
Walkin' my baby back home

We go 'long harmonizing a song
Or
I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby
back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her
head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all
over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my
comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back
home



She's 'fraid of the dark so I have
to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her
she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night

Hand in hand to a
barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a
pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I
don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home
