[Doris Day - Let's Take a Walk Around the Block lyrics]
I never traveled further North
Than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City
But first let me remark
I saw it from the empire state solarium
But we've been putting nickels
In the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up
We can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour
Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant but at present
Let's take a walk around the block
You're just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
For throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have`ll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block
Gangway, we'll begin when our, ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap all over the map
To London in May time to Venice in playtime
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time darling, meantime
Let's take a walk around the block
In Winter at Christmas
We'll visit the isthmus
And see how they lock up a lock
And then in Caracas, on a jackass
We'll take a ride around the block
We'll keep to our promise to visit St thomas
And then at Jamaica we'll dock
The prospect is thrilling still I am willing
Just now to walk around the block
Onward, to Cathay then to Mandalay
Boom on to Bangkok perhaps Vladivostok
We'll send the folks cables
Accumulate labels
Buy souvenirs till we're in hock
But since we are flat in old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block
Than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City
But first let me remark
I saw it from the empire state solarium
But we've been putting nickels
In the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up
We can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour
Someday we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant but at present
Let's take a walk around the block
You're just the companion
I want at Grand Canyon
For throwing old blades down the rock
The money we have`ll go for travel
Meantime, let's walk around the block
Gangway, we'll begin when our, ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap all over the map
To London in May time to Venice in playtime
To Paris in time for a frock
