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 along 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
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
