Walkin' My Baby Back Home lyrics

Nat King Cole

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 reciting 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 startin' 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 '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 barbeque stand,
Right from her doorway we roam,
Eats, and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby, a-talkin' my baby,
Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby...
Back home.
