Louis Armstrong - Would You Like To Take A Walk


When it comes to duets, Ella and Louis really are the tops, this song is so complexed as it tackles relationships, and their complication, life and indecision. It is also a perfect number to play as your alternavite Christmas record, as somehow it does still feel festive. 

I saw you strolling by your solitary
Am I nosy? Very, very
I'd like to be a juicy huckleberry
What you're after is a gal
We're both in luck for introductions
Are not necessary
Mmm, would you like to take walk?
Mmm, do you think it's gonna rain?
Mmm, how about a sasparilla?
Gee, the moon is yeller
Sump'n good'll come from that
Mmm, have you heard the latest song?
Mmm, it's a very pretty strain
Mmm, don't you feel a little thrilly?
Gee, it's getting chilly
Sump'n good'll come from that
When you're strolling though the wherezis
You need a whozis to lean upon
But when you have no whozis
To hug and whatzis, gosh, darn
Mmm, would you like to take walk?
Mmm, do you think it's gonna rain?
Mmm, ain't you sick of televsion?
I much rather go fishing
Sump'n good'll come from that
Mmmhhh, I sure like that kind of talk
mmmmhhh, better take walk
Mmmhhh, can you play another song
This records getting long
So, cut out the talk, honey we better take a walk
and, sump'n good'll come from that..
