Gee, it's great after being out late Walking my baby back home Arm in arm over meadow and farm Walking my baby back home We go along harmonizing a song Or I'm reciting a poem Owls go by and they give me the eye Walking my baby back home We stop for a while, she gives me a smile And snuggles her head to my chest We start in to pet, and that's when I get Her powder all over my vest After I kind of straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb One kiss then I continue again Walking my baby back home She's afraid of the dark So I had to park outside of her door till it's light She says if I try to kiss her she'd cry I dry her tears all through the night Hand in hand to a barbecue stand Right from her doorway we roam Eat and then it's a pleasure again Walking my baby, talking my baby Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe Walking my baby back home
