Lyrics
- I haven’t seen you since the days of childhood
Do you remember how we romp’d the wildwood?
Do you remember how I told you that I lov’d but you?
Yes, I remember you young feller
You were an awful story teller
Pardon me, but honestly
My ev’ry word of love was true
I saw you driving in an automobile
With a beautiful blonde one day
I didn’t love her, I didn’t love her
Believe me, what I say
And then I saw you in a hansom cab
With a girlie, you naughty sport
I didn’t love her, wasn’t even thinking of her
You’re the only girl I ever gave a thought
Then take me for a ride
No, come stroll by my side
Chorus
Let’s take an old fashion’d walk
Let’s have an old fashion’d talk
We will walk any place you choose to
But let’s talk about the things we used to
If you want a novelty in outdoor pasttime
Something for the real blase
Take an old fashion’d walk
And have an old fashion’d talk
With an old fashion’d girl some day
- Do you remember when your heart was weary?
Do you remember how I call’d you dearie?
Do you remember how I kissed you while I held you there?
Yes, I remember all you told me
And I remember how you sold me
Pardon me, but honestly
I certainly was on the square
Do you remember how we paddl’d our feet
As we sat in the shady nook?
Our little tootsies, our little tootsies
In the babbling brook
And have you ever paddl’d since that day
That we sat by the running stream?
No quit your kidding, or good day I will be bidding
For I know a girl who has a horse and team
Then take me for a ride
No, come stroll by my side
