Well, now gee 
But it's great after staying out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm and arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home

We go along harmonizing 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 cuddles her cheek to my chest
We start into pet, and that's when I get
Her power all over my vest

And just when I try to straighten the tie
She wants to borrow my comb
One kiss and then we continue again
Walkin' my baby back home

Well, gee but it's great after staying out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Well, arm and arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby home

Well, we go along singin' a song
I'm recitin' a poem
Well, 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 cuddles her cheek to my chest
Well, we start into pet, and that's when I get
Her power all over my vest

And just when I try to straighten the tie
She wants to borrow my comb
One kiss and then we do again
Walkin' my baby back home
