Walkin' My Baby Back Home (From "Gigi")

Walkin' My Baby Back Home (1931) - Maurice Chevalier/Ray Noble

I've an agreeable baby

Likes everything that I do

Dances most every night

Movies are her delight

I sort of go for them too

But when movies and dances are done

That's when I have real fun

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 along harmonizing your 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 to 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

One kiss then I continue again

Walkin' my baby back home

Oh oui oui it's delightful for me

Walking my baby back home

I can't use every word I will choose

I'll tell you when we're alone

Oh yes yes when we stop for a rest

I chug-a-lug to my own

By this time I assure you that I'm

Just like a king on a throne

And then comes the fun her shoe gets undone

Oh yes I start tying it then

Sometimes I'll admit I linger a bit

She makes me start walking again

Then we stroll till my heel and my sole

Feel like they're down to the bone

Oh she's sweet but it's bad on my feet

Walking my baby back home
