"After I kinda straighten my tie, she has to borrow my comb,
On and on, we'll continue along,
Walkin' my baby back home."
Nat King Cole, who had a hit with this Ahlert and Turk tune in 1951, would've loved his baby to have a pair of these sexy stiletto heels, to go along with her very own comb. There is also the issue of all the loose talcum powder - where is it coming from while they "pet" and why does it show up on his vest? There is nothing like some barbeque for post-petting hunger.
LYRICS
Gee, 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 'long harmonizing a song
Or I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give us the eye
Walkin' my baby back home
We stop for a while, She gives me a smile
And snuggles her head to his chest
We start in 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
One kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home
ADDITIONAL LYRICS
She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She say 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 my doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home
