Mother dear said Carrie,
I'd like to take a walk,
Through the park with Johnny
and have a little talk,
Give me your permission,
now don't you answer "no,"
Carrie's mother answered:
"My daughter, you may go."
Go ahead and have your little talk,
but the minute you and Johnny start to walk.

Keep on walking, walking, walking,
Keep on walking, dear,
you may stroll through the park
with your beau after dark,
but whatever you do, my daughter,
don't get tired,
keep on walking, walking, walking,
when you start from here,
walking through the park at ten
with your beau is lovely when
you keep on walking, dear.

Keep on walking, walking, walking,
Keep on walking, dear,
you may stroll through the park
with your beau after dark,
but whatever you do, my daughter,
don't get tired,
keep on walking, walking, walking,
when you start from here,
walking through the park at ten
with your beau is lovely when
you keep on walking, dear.

Carrie started walking
with Johnny by her side,
After they'd been walking
an hour Johnny cried:
"Carrie dear I'm tired,"
Now what could Carrie do,
just to change the subject,
she said: "I'm tired too."
There's a tree he said
with no one nigh,
but a couple 'neath the tree began to cry:

Keep on walking, walking, walking,
Keep on walking, dear,
you may stroll through the park
with your beau after dark,
but whatever you do, my daughter,
don't get tired,
keep on walking, walking, walking,
when you start from here,
walking through the park at ten
with your beau is lovely when
you keep on walking, dear.

Keep on walking, walking, walking,
Keep on walking, dear,
you may stroll through the park
with your beau after dark,
but whatever you do, my daughter,
don't get tired,
keep on walking, walking, walking,
when you start from here,
walking through the park at ten
with your beau is lovely when
you keep on walking, dear.
