Gee, 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.
The 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 cheek to my chest.
We're startin' to pet
and that's when I get
her powder all over my vest.
Well, after I kinda straighten my tie,
she has to borrow my comb.
A kiss and then we continue again
walkin' my baby back home.
Yeah, gee, 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.
The owls go by and they give me the eye
a-walkin' my baby back home.
We stop for a while,
she gives me a smile
and snuggles her cheek to my chest.
We're startin' to pet
and that's when I get
her powder all over my vest.
Oh well, hand-in-hand to a barbecue stand
right from her doorway we roam.
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
walkin' my baby back home.
