Gee it's great after staying out late 

Walking my baby back home 

Arm in arm, over meadow and farm 

Walking my baby back home



We go on harmonizing a song

Or she's reciting a poem

Owls fly by and they give me the eye

Walking my baby back home



We stop for awhile

She gives me a smile

And cuddles her cheek to my chest 

We start to pet and that's when I get 

Her powder all over my vest



After I kind of straighten my tie

She has to borrow my comb

It's one kiss then we continue again

Walking my baby back home



verse 3

She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park

outside her door til it's light.

She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry

I dry her tears all thu the

night.



verse 4



Hand-in-hand to a bar-b-que stand

right from her doorway we ran.

Eats and then it's a pleasure again,

walking my baby



6  -6   6  -5 5  -5 6  -5  5 -4 

Talking my baby; loving my baby;



-6 -6   -5    5 -4

 I don't mean maybe;



7  -6   -5 5 6  -6    7

Walking my baby back home.

Nat Cole's version of this is the classic,

but most male pop singers have a

version of it, released in 1952.
