[1st verse:] 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 [Refrain:] 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 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 [2nd verse:] 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 [Alternate Verse:] 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
