Some couples go for a buggy ride when they start caring a lot Others will bicycle side by side out to some romantic spot But when you haven't a sou, there's only one thing to do [Chorus] 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 I used to dream of a millionaire, handsome and rich from the States Taking me out for a breath of air, saying, "The carriage awaits" But since you haven't a sou and I have nothing to do [Chorus] 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
