Tom : C
( Am Em Dm )
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo.
Wo-wo-wo-wo, wo-wo-wo-wo.
Here I am walkin' down the street (Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin',
walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin',
walkin')
And the children: everything is so sweet.
(Wo-wo-wo sweet! Wo-wo-wo sweet!)
I'm doin' my best and I'm doin' it slow,
But there is just one thing I would like you to know.
G Am
Ooh, when you wet, it's slippery, yeah. Uh!
F C
When it damp, it crampin'!
G Am
If it's slidin', you'll tumble down,
F C
Won't want you on the ground.
( Em Am )
Oh-oh-oh! Caution: the road is wet;
Black soul is black as jet. Did you hear me?
Caution: the road is hot;
Still you got to do better than that!
G Am
'Cause when you wet, it's slippery, yeah. It's slippery, yeah!
F C
When it damp, it crampin'! When it damp, it crampin'!
G Am
If it slidin' up and down-a,
F C
Don't want you on the ground. Brother!
( Am Em Dm )
Hit me from the top,
You crazy muthafunkin'!
Hit me from the top,
You crazy muthafunkin'!
Hit me from the top,
Crazy muthafunkin'! Eh!
G Am
When you wet, it's slippery, yeah. Uh!
F C
When it damp, it crampin!
G Am
If you slidin', you're tumblin' down,
F C
Don't want you on the ground! Don't, don't!
( Em Am )
Caution: the road is wet;
Black soul is black as jet. Black soul!
Caution: the road is hot;
Yeah, you got to do better than that!
