[Verse 1]
C7Backstroke lover, always hidin’ ‘neath the covers
‘Til I talked to my daddy, he say
He said you ain’t seen nothing
‘Til you’re down on a muffin
Then you’re sure to be a-changin’ your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
‘Cause the best things in lovin’
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

[Verse 2]
C7See-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 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’
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to
[Chorus 1]
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C7| C7| C7| C7  
Ah, just give me a kiss

[Verse 3]
C7School girl sweetie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbing way up her knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin’ at me
I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So I C7gave her just a little kiss, like this!

[Verse 4]
C7See-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 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
[Chorus 2]
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C13Walk this way, F7walk this way
C7| C7| C7| C7  
Just give me a kiss

The story behind the song

"Walk This Way" emerged from a jam session when Steven Tyler heard Joe Perry playing a guitar riff and joined in on drums. The song's title was inspired by a scene from the film Young Frankenstein, suggested by their producer. Tyler famously wrote the lyrics on the studio wall after losing his original draft. At its heart, the song captures a raw, spontaneous energy, born from a moment of creative improvisation and a touch of rock-and-roll chaos.
