Let's Take a Walk Around the Block

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 Let's take a 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 St Isthmus And see how they lock up a lock And then in Caracas, on a jackass, We'll take a ride around the block I give you my promise We'll visit St. Thomas And then at the Virgins, we'll dock The Virgins can wait, sir It grows late sir Let's take a walk around the block Onward, to Cathay Then to Mandalay Then Vladivostok Where bolsheviks flock We'll send the folks cables Accumulate labels Buy souvenirs till we're in hock Right now we are flat in old Manhattan Let's take a walk around the block
