Walk of Shame
Fallon Jimmy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up,
Rubbed my eyes,
Tried to remember
What the hell I did last night
This aint my bed
This aint my room
Had a crazy night
Now I know what I got to do

Walk of Shame [x4]

I got my drink on
I got my dance on
Now I'm walking home with
Someone elses pants on

Crossed the quad
Pulled my hat down low,
Saw a group of friends
That I pretend I didn't know

Walk of shame [x3]
'Was a walk of shame

Baby your place or mine
Either is fine,
But we'll have to decide which one of us

Takes the Walk of shame
Walk of shame [x3]

But tonight
Man I'm gonna make it right
I'm gonna be prepared

I'm gonna pack a change of clothes in the bottom of my jansport
Visine tic tacs and some axe bottle spray
Hold my head high when I walk outside
Gonna take that walk of shame with priiiiiiiiiiiiide

[Dave:] Walk of shame [x4]




[Jimmy and Dave:] Walk of Shame [x4]
Walk of Shame [till end]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Walk of Shame" by Fallon Jimmy depict the aftermath of a wild night out, a situation that many of us have found ourselves in. The song captures the anxiety, confusion, and embarrassment of waking up in an unfamiliar place, in someone else's room, with no recollection of the events of the previous night. The opening lines "I woke up, Rubbed my eyes, Tried to remember, What the hell I did last night" set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer of the song realizes that he has to go through the dreaded walk of shame, a term used to describe the walk of a person, usually a woman, who is returning home dressed in the same clothes that they wore the night before after a one-night stand.


The chorus of the song, "Walk of Shame," is repeated several times, emphasizing the feeling of shame and embarrassment that the singer is experiencing. He encounters a group of friends who he pretends not to know, highlighting the social stigma attached to the walk of shame. However, towards the end of the song, he decides to embrace the situation and prepare for the walk of shame with pride, indicating a positive shift in his attitude.

Great song, but very hard to hear the way it was recorded. Shame.

Amanda Paul

iPhone camera quality 10 years ago wasn’t what it is today. I’m sure you can google the original clip and watch that instead.

Diane0529

@Amanda Paul I actually tried that, but couldn’t find the actual clip where you could see them singing it. It was just a recording, so I enjoyed yours more. Thank you for recording it!
