Prince – The Walk lyrics

Attention everybody
I'm gonna show you a brand new dance
It's called "The Walk," "The Walk"
Just let your body talk
'Til U're deep in a trance

You don't need no partner
You can walk all alone
(Say, say) Whenever you feel the groove
Just let your body move
Walkin' 2 a beat of your own (Hey)

Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk (U)
Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk

Attention everybody
I said it ain't hard 2 do
You just walk, walk
Let your body talk
Walkin' so cool (Walkin' so cool)

Attention everybody
I said I just shined my shoes, yes I did
So you can let your body talk
But just watch where you walk
Or your life U're gonna lose
In other words, I'll walk you ‘til U're dead

Everybody walk your body (Oh yeah, hey)
Everybody walk (U)
Everybody walk your body
Oh, everybody walk

The days of dancing in one place are gone
And honey, you know you can't dance with them tight jeans on
If you try 2 cop a dip, you trip, slip, and fall
Walking's 4 the cool baby, put on a camisole (Hey)

Everybody walk your body (Everybody walk your body)
Everybody walk (U)
Everybody walk your body (Everybody walk your body)
Everybody walk (Uh)

Who? Me? I wear baggies, zip, snap, and drop
(Mm) Easy access baby (Yes, before you get a chance 2 holler "Stop!")
Besides, Rollo likes his freedom
Ain't nothin' like a fresh pair of baggies
Now I know that's right

Everybody walk your body (Everybody walk your body)
Everybody walk (U)
Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk (Oh)

Hup 2, 3, 4, what the hell are we fightin' 4? Walk!
Hup 2, 3, 4, what the hell are we fightin' 4? Walk!
Company fall in line, talk
Hup 2, 3, 4, what the hell are we fightin' 4? Walk! (Jellybean)
Hup 2, 3, 4, what the hell are we fightin' 4? Walk!
Piano man, play

Damn, I'm 'bout 2 walk a hole in my Stacy Adams
What time is it?
Little cute guitar player, make your mama proud
I want all of Detroit City 2 stand up, clap your hands!
Alright you Polaroids, stay in time with the drummer
Jellybean, don't be so mean, uh (Hmm?)
Mr. Jellybean, turn it around, bass man walk downtown
Go on and walk, Terry
I don't think they heard ya, mmm
What time is it?
Rock City
Uh! Well ok, if you put it that way
Ain't nobody bad... Cheerio
We don't like policemen
We don't like new wave
We don't like television

Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk (Any walkers in the house?) (Hey) (Hey) (Oh)
Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk (That's ok, if you wanna sing, it's cool, hey)

Everybody walk your body (Everybody walk your body)
Everybody walk (Yes)
Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk (Everybody walk your body)
(The finest baggies that money can buy, alright)

Everybody walk your body (Uh)
Everybody walk (Fuzztone, uh yeah)
Everybody walk your body
Oh, everybody walk (Band)

Everybody walk your body (Everybody walk your body)
Uh, say it again
Everybody walk your body
Everybody walk (What time is it?)

Everybody walk your body

Say, hey baby, where you goin'?
I'm going home
I can't dance like that
Well baby, that's because you got those jeans on 2 tight
Now let's just take'em off
What do you mean "Let's just take'em off"?
Come on, take'em off
I got something 4 you 2 wear
Here, put this on
Uh, you always keep lingerie in your glove department?
None of my women wear gloves
Now put this on
But..
But my ass, hey, a play on words
But all the girls will stare at me
All the girls in this neighborhood already wear camisoles
I know, but..
But, but that's because it's cool
Now let's get them jeans off
Ok, but I'm warning you
Warning me about what?
Mm, God, this zipper's tight
Here, why don't you lay down?
Um, that's what I'm tryin' 2 tell you
Stop tryin' 2 tell me things and pull!
But..
Come on, pull!
I'm warning you
Mary sweet mother Jesus!
I told you
Damn baby, how'd you get all that in them jeans?
It wasn't easy
I know that's right, mmm!
Well, I think U'd be more comfortable in this
I'm sure I would, uh, I don't know
Hurry up Grace, song's almost over
My name's not Grace
I know that, but hurry up... Grace
Man, these are weird
I guess the tag goes in the back, huh?
Hurry up
Ok, ok, how do I look?
Almost as good as me, now let's go!

(Hey Morris, what time is it?)
(Who's the lovely lady, introduce us)
I'll introduce you 2 a headache if you don't get out of my face!

Ok baby, now check this out
We gonna walk ‘til the song's over
In other words, meet me at the bar in 32 measures, cool?
Cool
And if U're good, I'll let you work the stick in my ride, waa ha ha
