Walkin' My Baby Back Home

Nat King Cole · Re:generations [2009]

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.



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.



After I kind of straighten my tie,

She has to borrow my comb.

One kiss then I continue again,

Walking my baby back home.



She's afraid of the dark

So I had to park outside of her door till 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

Its 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
