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
