Barefoot in Baltimore

Barefoot in Baltimore

Heel and toe with youSummer turns the stove on

And fun begins to cook

Barefoot walks in Baltimore

With empty pocketbookLaugh at sizzling sidewalks

Don't step on the cracks

Old folks try to catch their breath

As children catch their jacksBarefoot in Baltimore

Heel and toe with youBaltimore is music

Dancing in the street

Half chewed dubble bubble

Tugging at our feetMelted tar in crosswalks

Crab shells in the park

Pavement frying our poor toes

Until long after darkBarefoot in Baltimore

Heel and toe with youWhen night comes we can go walking

On the shores of Chesapeake Bay

A silence tailored for talking

And a love with so much to sayBarefoot in Baltimore

Heel and toe with you
