Now there's a backseat, lover That's always undercover And I talk 'til my daddy say Said you ain't seen, nothin' Til you're down on the muffin And there's sure to be a change in ways Now there's a cheer, leader That's a real big, pleaser As far as I can reminisce 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 [Chorus] 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! Ooh, a-like this! School girl, sleazy With a, classy kind of sassy Little skirt hangin' way up her knee There were three young ladies In the school gym, locker And they find they were lookin' 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 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 miss 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! Well just gimme some head! Like this
