Lyrics
Chorus
Gee but it’s great after being out late
Walkin’ my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin’ my baby back home
We go along 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 awhile, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head to my chest
We start in to pet and that’s when I get
Her talcum all over my vest
After I kind of straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
One kiss, then I continue again
Walkin’ my baby back home
Chorus
Gee but it’s great after being out late
Walkin’ my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin’ my baby back home
We go along harmonizing a song
Or I’m reciting a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin’ my baby back home
She’s afraid 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 back home
