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 reciting 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 startin' 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. One kiss, then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home.
She '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 barbeque stand, Right from her doorway we roam, Eats, and then it's a pleasure again Walkin' my baby, a-talkin' my baby, Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe Walkin' my baby... Back home.
