"WALKIN' HOME"
Words and music by Lou Del Bianco

Another day of school is over,
I leave the building, my bag across my shoulder,
Someone's smiling, I yell to them, "I'll see ya!"
I walk across the street and I see the big high school-

Someday I'll go there, when I am older,
But I'm not older, so that's why I don't go there
My sisters go there, and they're much older
I hope they're stayin cause I'll listen to their stereo

I'm on the path it, goes up the hill where
The guy is sellin, lots of ice cream
I want an ice cream, I gotta have an ice cream
I have no money;I never have any money-

THIS IS THE WAY, I WALK EVERYDAY
LOOKIN' AT THESE PLACES IN THE SAME OLD WAY
AND I'M ALL ALONE- AND I'M WALKIN HOME

There's the driveway, with lots of gravel
I scoop the gravel and toss it on the sidewalk
Someday the guy who, owns this gravel
Is gonna catch me and I'll run away screaming

There's a girl and, she's kinda pretty,
I'll look right at her and ask her, "How ya doin'?"
Oh no, she's gettin closer- she's really, really pretty
Now she's walkin by me and I'm lookin at the ground-oh!

What's for dinner, I hope it's zitti,
I hope it's zitti, with lot's of Mommie's meatballs
There's the dog that's always barking
I don't like lentils cause they make me really nervous-

REFRAIN

I see a tin can, I start to kick it
Past the house with the pretty garden
Past the man there, he isn't friendly
His grass is perfect and he looks like he vacuums it

I kick the tin can, I kick it far and
I'm gonna kick it until I reach my house now]
But if I miss it, I gotta start all over,
Oop's- I missed it; oh, I hate it when I think like this!!

Down the hill and, I see my driveway
I'm still thinkin about that pretty girl and,
Through the window, I see my mother cooking,
I'm getting nervous cause it's smellin like lentils!
REFRAIN(and I'm finally home)
