Walk This Way
Run-D.M.C. With Steven Tyler and Joe Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's always undercover
And I talk til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen nuthin'
Til you're down on her muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheerleader
That's a real big pleaser
But the best thing love it
Was her sister and her cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
She starts swingin'
With the boys in tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swingin' like it just don't care
So I took a big chance
At the high school dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was foolin
'Cause she knew what was she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Well just gimme a kiss!
Oooh, a-like this!
School girl sleazy
With a classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
It was three young ladies
In the school gym locker
And they find they were lookin' at D
I was high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Til a boy told me somethin' I missed
That my next door neighbor
Had a daughter had a favor
And I gave the girl just a little kiss, like this
She starts swingin' with the boys in the school
With her feet flyin' up in the air
Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
I was swingin' 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 foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
Walk this way!
Talk this way!

Now there's a backseat lover
There's someone hidden in the backseat
That's always undercover
They're trying to remain hidden
And I talk til my daddy say
I keep talking until my dad intervenes
Said you ain't seen nuthin'
Telling me I haven't seen anything yet
Til you're down on her muffin
Unless I go down on her sexually
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Things will change after that
Now there's a cheerleader
There's a cheerleader present now
That's a real big pleaser
She pleases people very much
As far as I can reminisce
As far as I can remember
But the best thing love it
But the best thing was
Was her sister and her cousin
Her sister and cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
It all began with a simple kiss
She starts swingin'
She starts dancing
With the boys in tune
Dancing with the boys in rhythm
And her feet just fly up in the air
Her feet are lifted off the ground
Singin' hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
Singing a nursery rhyme with a sexually suggestive twist
And they swingin' like it just don't care
They're swinging carelessly
So I took a big chance
I took a big risk
At the high school dance
At a dance in high school
With a lady who was ready to play
With a woman who wanted to have fun
It wasn't me she was foolin
She wasn't tricking me
'Cause she knew what was she was doin'
Because she knew what she was doing
When she told me how to walk this way
When she showed me how to act this way
She told me to Walk this way!
She told me to follow her lead
Talk this way!
Speak in a certain way
Well just gimme a kiss!
Just give me a kiss
Oooh, a-like this!
Just like this
School girl sleazy
Young girl dressed in a suggestive way
With a classy kind of sassy
Despite that, she is still elegant
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
Wearing a skirt that is quite short
It was three young ladies
There were three young women present
In the school gym locker
They were in the school gym locker room
And they find they were lookin' at D
They were looking at a male called D
I was high school loser
I was not popular in high school
Never made it with a lady
I never had sex with a woman
Til a boy told me somethin' I missed
Until a boy told me something I wasn't aware of
That my next door neighbor
That my neighbor who lived next door
Had a daughter had a favor
Had a daughter who was willing to do a sexual favor
And I gave the girl just a little kiss, like this
And I kissed the girl lightly like this
She starts swingin' with the boys in the school
She begins to dance with the boys at school
With her feet flyin' up in the air
Her feet are lifted while she dances
Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
Singing the suggestive nursery rhyme again
I was swingin' like I didn't care
I was dancing carelessly
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
She was not tricking me because she knew what she wanted
When she told me how to walk this way
When she instructed me to act a certain way
She told me to Walk this way!
She told me to follow her actions
Talk this way!
Speak in a certain way
Like this!
