Frank Sinatra & Doris Day Sing "Let's Take an Old-Fashioned Walk"!

 

 

Let's Take an Old-Fashioned Walk
Words & Music by Irving Berlin, 1949
As Sung by Frank Sinatra & Doris Day

FS: 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.

DD: 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.

DD: I know for a couple
Who seem to be miles apart,
FS: There’s nothing like walking,
And having a heart to heart.

Both: I know a girl who declined,
Couldn’t make up her mind,
DD: She was wrapped up and sold,
DD, then both: Coming home from an old-fashioned walk.

DD: Some couples go for a buggy ride,
When they start caring a lot,
FS: Others will bicycle side by side,
Way out to some romantic spot.

Male Chorus: But when you haven't a sou
There's only one thing to do....


DD, then FS: Let's take an old-fashioned walk,
I'm just bursting with talk,

FS: What a tale could be told,
DD: If we went for an old fashioned walk.

Chorus: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.


FS, then DD: Let's take a stroll through the park,
Down a lane where it's dark,
FS: And a heart that's controlled,
DD, then FS: May relax on an old fashioned walk.

Chorus: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

DD: I know for a couple
Who seem to be miles apart,

FS: There's nothing like walking,
And having a heart-to-heart.

Chorus: Walking and talking and ...

Both: I know a girl who declined,
Couldn't make up her mind,

FS: She was wrapped up and sold,
DD, then FS: Coming home from an old-fashioned walk.


FS: If your girl has has declined,
DD: And won't make up her mind,
BOTH: What you need is a heart-to-heart talk,
DD: Take a stroll through the park,
FS: Down a lane where it's dark,
All: And go for an old-fashioned walk.

By the way, "DoDo" (Day) is still very much alive. She just turned 89 (or is it 87? depends on the source) on April 3. Visit her personal Website here.
