"Walk This Way" is a song by the American rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the album Toys in the Attic (1975). It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s. In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also helped revitalize their career in the 1980s[4] when it was covered by hip hop group Run-D.M.C. (in collaboration with Aerosmith) on their 1986 album Raising Hell. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock, or the melding of rock and hip hop.[4] It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Single in 1987 Soul Train Music Awards. Both versions are in the Grammy Hall of Fame

Lyrics
Now there's a backseat lover, that's always undercover
And I talked to my dad, he say
Said, "You ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a muffin
And there's sure to be a change in way"
I met a cheerleader, that's a big young bleeder
As far as I could reminisce
And the best thing, lovin' was a sister and a cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
She start swingin' with the boys in school
And her feet are flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey, diddle diddle, with the kitty in the middle
And you swingin' like you 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 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
Just give me a kiss
Like this
School girl sleazy with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
There were three young ladies in a school gym locker
And I find they were lookin' at D
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me somethin' I miss
That my next door neighbor had a daughter, had a favor
And I gave it a little kiss, like this
She start swingin' with the boys in the school
With your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey, diddle diddle, with the kitty in the middle
I was swingin' like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With the 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
Well, just give me some head
