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 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
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin` my baby back home

<instrumental 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
