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 harmonizing a song
Oh, I'm recitin' 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 to my chest
We start to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum powder all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Oh, one kiss and then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home

Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Come on, Jools, baby
Play it

She's afraid of the dark, so I have to park
Outside of her house 'til it's light
She says if I try to kiss her, she'll cry
I dry her tears off 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

Talkin' my baby back home
I'm lovin' my baby, walkin' my baby back home
I'll just be walkin' my baby back home
