Intro: 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 Interlude: 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
