Let's Take a Walk Around the Block (feat. Frank DeVol & His Orchestra) - From "Life Begins at 8:40"

Some day 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 will begin, when our ship comes in
I'll sail on your lap
All over the map, to London and may time
To Venice in play time, 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 to Caracas on a jackass, we'll take a ride around the block

I give you my promise we'll visit saint
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 by souvenirs to we're in hock
Right now we are flat in old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block
