LET'S TAKE AN OLD FASHIONED WALK (Irving Berlin, 1948) Intro Some couples go for a buggy ride when they start thinking a lot Others will bicycle side by side down to some old fashioned spot But when you haven't a sou There's only one thing to do Chorus Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just yearning to talk What a tale could be told coming home from an old fashioned walk Let's take a stroll thru the park to some place where it's dark And a heart that's controlled could relax on an old fashioned walk I know for a couple who seemed to be miles apart There's nothing like walking and having a heart-to-heart (walking and talking) And 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. Back in 1949, a schoolmate of mine, Merle Nester and I sang this song on WFIL_TV - Paul Whiteman's TV Teen Club. We didn't win but had a ball !! Hope you have as good a duet partner !!! Les Blank
