Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk 1948 Berlin

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:

Let's take an oldfashioned walk
I'm just bursting with talk,
what a tale could be told
if we went for an oldfashioned 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 oldfashioned 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 oldfashioned walk.

I know a girl who declined

from an oldfashioned 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:

Let's take an oldfashioned walk
I'm just bursting with talk,
what a tale could be told
if we went for an oldfashioned 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 oldfashioned walk.
