(song)
(song-version of
Aerosmith's 'Walk this Way':)


"Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a MUFF AND
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young breeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you 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'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

A just gimme a kiss
Like this

School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' 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
A like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya 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
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way

A just gimme a kiss
Like this"



MY version--entitled ''Tryin' to Walk AT-ALL'':

"Jeen-yus cripple always strug-glin' with his POS-TURE,
While his trainer repeatedly YELLS.
He said, 'Your posture's leanin' so bad you're lucky you don't FALL.
Then, might you step with 'alarm-BELLS'.
With the tips from a great gym-STAFF, he can only LAUGH
As he yearns to RE-gain his GAIT.
He's gotta r'member to keep his eyes FOCUSED & UP.
To have stable STRIDES, the back
Must-be STRAIGHT!

See-saw swingin' goes his head back-&-FORTH.
But, his hips just stay where they ARE.
Even though he STRUGGLES,
His CONFIDENCE shows that his goals areN'T all that 'FAR'.
He's ''takin' big STEPS'', as he IN-creases his REPS.
'Cuz his PRIDE just woN'T let him QUIT.
Doctors say he should STOP.
But, he doesN'T underSTAND.

TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WAAALKKK!

A just show me your GAIT.
… Back-STRAIGHT!

Stamina's increasin' at 'NEURO-FIT'.
'Tis the CON-STANT stretching that's helpin' him RE-LAX.
When he noticed his in-creased FLEX-IH-BIL-IH-TEE,
He's been a QUIY-EHT-'cripple', neh-ver really COMPLAINED
'Til his trainer told him to 'rih-place his HIP'.
Then, his hip-doctor told him he JUST needed some REST.
So, he's treatin' it like an upcoming-TEST:
Relax & REST.

UN-steady-swingin' go his HIPS as he 'WALKS',
As his neck lets his head droop LOW.
He 'snaps his neck STRAIGHT,
When his trainer taps his head, … as IF he didN'T KNOW.
So, he earned a big-THRILL … by testing his hip-SKILL
As he cheered himself

TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … TALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … WALK.
TRY … to … TAAAALLKKK!

And, 'pick up your JAW'
… In AWE."
