Strollin' just strollin'
in the cool of the evening air,
I don't envy the rich
in their automobiles,
for a motor car is phoney,
I'd rather have shanks's pony
when I'm strollin'
just strollin'
with the light of the moon above,
ev'ry night I go out strollin'
and I know my luck is rollin'
when I'm strollin'
with the one I love.

Strollin' just strollin'
in the cool of the evening air,
I don't envy the rich
in their automobiles,
for a motor car is phoney,
I'd rather have shanks's pony
when I'm strollin'
just strollin'
with the light of the moon above,
ev'ry night I go out strollin'
and I know my luck is rollin'
when I'm strollin'
with the one I love.

When the lights are low
and stars in the sky
there's a kind of glow
to tell me that I should be
enterprising with a little exercising,
and I think the time has
come for me to try,
I don't sit at home a pondering
I would rather go a wandering.
There's always something new,
out on the avenue,
underneath the sky.

Strollin' just strollin'
in the cool of the evening air,
I don't envy the rich
in their automobiles,
for a motor car is phoney,
I'd rather have shanks's pony
when I'm strollin'
just strollin'
with the light of the moon above,
ev'ry night I go out strollin'
and I know my luck is rollin'
when I'm strollin'
with the one I love.

Strollin' just strollin'
in the cool of the evening air,
I don't envy the rich
in their automobiles,
for a motor car is phoney,
I'd rather have shanks's pony
when I'm strollin'
just strollin'
with the light of the moon above,
ev'ry night I go out strollin'
and I know my luck is rollin'
when I'm strollin'
with the one I love.
