Let me tell you a little story 'Bout me and my baby Ooh but 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 harmonizin' a song Or I'm reciting a poem Guys go by, they give her the eye Walkin' my baby back home We stop for a while, she gives me a smile Then snuggles her head to my chest We started to pet, but that's when I get Her powder all over my vest That's when I kinda straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb One kiss then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home She's afraid of the dark, so I have to park Outside of her door till it's light She said if I tried to kiss her she'd cry I dried her tears all through the night Hand in hand to a barbecue stand Right from her doorway we roam Eat, and, then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home Walkin' my baby, talkin' my baby Walkin' my baby back home Walkin' my baby back home I mean, that's how it is Walkin' my baby back home
