Take Me for a Walk

Take me for a walk
That's all I ask of you
A simple walk, perhaps a talk,
Exchanging points of view
An occasional quiet little stroll
Rejuvenates the soul
Not too energetic
Merely peripatetic
Millionaires can't measure
What a simple pleasure -- means.
They just don't have a glimmer
Riding in their limou -- sines.
If they got out the lead
And tried to walk instead
They'd gladly throw their calendars away
And say:

Just take me for a walk with you
To --
Day.

[alt: Nothing too athletic]

Optional: Cancel lunch and hold my calls
And hand me down my overalls
I'm going for a walk
Today.

INTERLUDE
A: There surely must be something I can buy you
[mostly spoken]
With which to ply you
And satisfy you
A trip to Tahiti?

S: Forget it, sweetie.

A: A new Ferrari?

E: [yawns] Terribly sorry.

A: A color TV? A Ph.D.? A nightingale? The Holy Grail?
Well, how about a diamond ring
Or anything I possess?

S, E: Sir, what do you take us for?

A: A walk, I guess.

S, E: That's more like it!

Take me for a walk
Take a walk with me
We'll traipse along, and sing a song,
As jaunty as can be.

An adventurous early morning hike
Is what I'd really like
No destination
And not much perspiration
We could simply mosey
To a green and cozy -- glen
Savor the aroma
Till we head for home a -- gain.

S, E: We could be climbing a peak with a stick and a pack

A: Spending a week with a crick in my back
But nevertheless I'll join you, if I may --

S, E: Okay!

(Alternating:)
We can amble along
Or shamble along
Or toddle along
Or waddle along
Or swagger along
Or stagger along
Our way -- Hey!

Please take me for a walk with you
To --
Day.
