Let’S Take an Old Fashioned Walk (With Frank Sinatra) - Doris Day

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!
