Barefoot in Baltimore
Heel and toe with you Summer turns the stove on
And fun begins to cook
Barefoot walks in Baltimore
With empty pocketbook Laugh at sizzling sidewalks
Don't step on the cracks
Old folks try to catch their breath
As children catch their jacks Barefoot in Baltimore
Heel and toe with you Baltimore is music
Dancing in the street
Half chewed dubble bubble
Tugging at our feet Melted tar in crosswalks
Crab shells in the park
Pavement frying our poor toes
Until long after dark Barefoot in Baltimore
Heel and toe with you When night comes we can go walking
On the shores of Chesapeake Bay
A silence tailored for talking
And a love with so much to say Barefoot in Baltimore
Heel and toe with you
