The Walk:Jimmy McCracklin.
#5 on R&B, #7 BB Hot 100 on CHESS
Records in 1958.
INTRO:
#1.
Well, I know you heard of Suzy-Q..and I know
you heard of The Chicken, too.
I know you heard of The Cha-Cha-Choo..cause
The Walk is a dance that you can do.
CHORUS:
You just Walk, you just Walk..oh, you Walk, yes,
you Walk.
Yeah, you Walk, yes, you Walk.
#2.
Well, I know you heard of the Texas Hop..
I know you heard of the old Fox Trot.
But when you do The Walk, you re right in style..
you just shake your hips and close your eyes.
CHORUS:
And then you Walk, yeah, you Walk..and you Walk, oh,
you Walk.
Oh, you Walk, yes, you Walk..(Do the Walk, boys!)
(INTERLUDE:SAX:)
#3.
Well, I know you heard of the old Mambo..and I know
you heard of the old Congo.
But when you do The Walk you start in close..
and don t step on your partner s toes.
CHORUS:
You just Walk, yeah, you Walk..oh, you Walk, yes,
you Walk.
Oh, you Walk, that s the Walk..
#4.
Now, if you don t know what it s all about..
come to me and I ll show you how.
We ll do it fast, we ll do it slow..then you ll
know the Walk everywhere you go.
OUTRO:
You can Walk, and you Walk, now you Walk..
you gonna Walk, you gotta Walk..
that s The Walk..that s The Walk..that s The Walk..(Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
