Nat "King" Cole — Walking My Baby Back Home

[Verse 1] Gee, it's great after being out late Walking my baby back home Arm and arm over meadow and farm Walking 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 Walking my baby back home [Bridge] We stop for a while, she gives me a smile And snuggles her head on my chest We started to pet, and that's when I get Her powder all over my vest [Verse 2] After I kind of straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb One kiss then we continue again Walking my baby back home [Instrumental Break] [Outro] She's afraid of the dark So I had to park outside of her door 'til its light She's says if I try to kiss her she'll cry I'll dry her tears all through the night Hand in Hand to a barbeque stand Right from her doorway we roam Eats and then it's a pleasure again Walking my baby, talking my baby Loving my baby, I don't mean maybe Walking my baby back home
