Barefoot in BaltimorenHeel and toe with younnSummer turns the stove onnAnd fun begins to cooknBarefoot walks in BaltimorenWith empty pocketbooknnLaugh at sizzling sidewalksnDon't step on the cracksnOld folks try to catch their breathnAs children catch their jacksnnBarefoot in BaltimorenHeel and toe with younnBaltimore is musicnDancing in the streetnHalf-chewed Dubble BubblenTugging at our feetnnMelted tar in crosswalksnCrab shells in the parknPavement frying our poor toesnUntil long after darknnWhen night comes we can go walkingnOn the shores of Chesapeake BaynA silence tailored for talkingnAnd a love with so much to say
