Lyrics Lets Take an Old - The Rat Pack

Lets Take an Old

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!
