Let’s Take An Old-Fashioned Walk

Perry Como

3

Hmmmmmm!

Let's take an old-fashioned walk,

I'm just burstin' with talk.

What a tale could be told, if we went for

An old-fashioned walk!

Let's take a stroll thru the park,

Down a lane where it's dark,

And a heart that's controlled, may relax on

An old-fashioned walk!

I know, for a couple who seem to be miles apart,

There's nothin' like walkin' and having a heart to heart.

I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind,

She was wrapped up an' sold, comin' home from

An old-fashioned walk!

Some couples go for a buggy ride,

When they start caring a lot!

Others will bicycle side by side,

Out to some romantic spot!

Some take a ride on a bus,

But that would not do for us . . .

Let's take an old-fashioned walk,

I'm just burstin' with talk.

What a tale could be told, if we went for

An old-fashioned walk!

Let's take a stroll thru the park,

Down a lane where it's dark . . .

And a heart that's controlled, may relax on

An old-fashioned walk!

I know, for a couple who seem to be miles apart,

There's nothin' like walkin' and having a heart to heart.

He knows a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind . . .

She was wrapped up an' sold, comin' home from

An old-fashioned walk!

He knows a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind . . .

She was wrapped up an' sold, comin' home from

An old-fashioned walk!
