Walkin' My Baby Back Home - Nat King Cole, The Roots

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 me the eye

Walkin' my baby back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile

And snuggles her head on my chest

We start in to pet and that’s when I get

Her talcum all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie

She has to borrow my comb

Once kiss then I continue again

Walkin' my baby back home

She’s 'fraid 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

Talkin' my baby

Lovin' my baby

I don’t mean maybe

Walkin' my baby back home
