Barefoot in Baltimore   Heel and toe with you      Summer turns the stove on   And fun begins to cook   Barefoot walks in Baltimore   With empty pocketbook      Laugh at sizzling sidewalks   Don't step on the cracks   Old folks try to catch their breath   As children catch their jacks      Barefoot in Baltimore   Heel and toe with you      Baltimore is music   Dancing in the street   Half-chewed Dubble Bubble   Tugging at our feet      Melted tar in crosswalks   Crab shells in the park   Pavement frying our poor toes   Until long after dark      When night comes we can go walking   On the shores of Chesapeake Bay   A silence tailored for talking   And a love with so much to say
