Walk This Way

"Walk This Way" is a song by American hard rock group Aerosmith. It was written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. It was originally released as the second single from their 1975 album Toys in the Attic. It peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s. In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also helped resurrect their career and revolutionized rock and roll and hip hop music when it was re-made in 1986 with rappers Run-D.M.C. on their album Raising Hell. It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap - Single in 1987. The song was covered by UK girl groups Sugababes and Girls Aloud as the official Comic Relief single in 2007.

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Backstroking lover, always hiding 'neath the covers 'Til I talked to my daddy, he say He said, "You ain't seen nothing 'til you're down on a muffin Then you're sure to be a-changing your ways." I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder All the times I could reminisce 'Cause the best things of loving with her sister and her cousin Only started with a little kiss, like this [Solo] [Pre-Chorus] See-saw swinging with the boys in the school With your feet flying up in the air Singing "Hey, diddle-diddle with your kitty in the middle Of the swing like I didn't care." So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Wasn't me she was fooling 'cause she knew what she was doing And I knew love was here to stay when she told me to [Chorus] "Walk this way, talk this way" "Walk this way, walk this way" "Walk this way, walk this way" "Walk this way, talk this way" Ah, just give me a kiss Like this [Solo] [Verse 2] Schoolgirl sweetie with the classy kinda sassy Little skirt's climbing way up her knee There was three young ladies in the school gym locker When I noticed they was looking at me I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady 'Til the boys told me something I missed Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor So I gave her just a little kiss, like this [Solo] [Pre-Chorus] See-saw swinging with the boys in the school With your feet flying up in the air Singing "Hey, diddle-diddle with your kitty in the middle Of the swing like I didn't care." So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Wasn't me she was fooling 'cause she knew what she was doing And I knew love was here to stay when she told me to [Chorus] "Walk this way, talk this way" "Walk this way, walk this way" "Walk this way, walk this way" "Walk this way, talk this way" Just give me a kiss Like this [Outro Solo]
