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 into 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'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
