The Walk
His Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When my sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet.
And in the evening when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go tweet tweet tweet.

Long ago we had an old LP with this song on it. My mum used to get all excited about hearing it. Reminded her of britain before the war...1939. It's a wonderful little nostalgic bit when the world was just a little different than now (2021).

My parents' first date was watching "Me and my girl" featuring the Lambeth Walk. When I was a kid they used to rush to each other and kiss whenever the song came on the radio. Lovely romantic memories!

The Hooley's

That was great, loved the old footage, I really felt like I was back in the 1930's.

Roger's Ramblings
