Let’s Take an Old‐Fashioned Walk Songtext
von Doris Day

Gee, I′m glad you came over tonight
(Yeah! It'll be nice riding with the top down)
Oh, but I′ve spent the afternoon fixing my hair
(Oh, Oh!)
How about a movie, huh?
(No, it's too late for that, they'll be sold out of popcorn)
Say, I know!

(Let′s take an old fashioned walk)
(I′m just bursting with talk)
(What a tale could be told)
(If we went for an old fashioned walk)

Let's take a stroll through 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 nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart)


I know a girl who declined
Couldn't make up her mind
(She was wrapped up and sold)
Coming 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)
(Way out to some romantic spot)

Let′s take an old fashioned walk
I'm just bursting with talk
(What a tale could be told)
If we went for
An old fashioned walk

Let's take a stroll through the park
Down a lane where it′s dark
(And a heart that′s controlled)
Can relax on
An old fashioned walk

I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart
(There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart)


I know a girl who declined
Couldn′t make up her mind
(She was wrapped up and sold)
Coming home from
An old fashioned walk

(If your girl has declined)
And won't make up her mind
What you need is a heart-to-heart talk

Take a stroll through the park
(Down a lane where it′s dark)
And go for an old fashioned walk
