Let’s Take a Walk Around the Block Songtext
von Doris Day & John Raitt

Someday we′ll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present
Let's take a walk around the block

You′re just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
For throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have'll go for travel
Let's take a walk around the block

Gangway, we′ll begin
When our, ship comes in
I′ll sit on your lap
All over the map

To London in May time
To Venice in playtime
To Paris in time for a frock


To Boston in bean time
Darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block

In Winter at Christmas,
We′ll visit St Isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock

And then in Caracas, on a jackass,
We'll take a ride around the block

I give you my promise
We′ll visit St. Thomas
And then at the Virgins, we'll dock

The Virgins can wait, sir
It grows late sir
Let′s take a walk around the block

Onward, to Cathay
Then to Mandalay
Then Vladivostok
Where bolsheviks flock


We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
Right now we are flat in old Manhattan
Let′s take a walk around the block
