Some people do it when they’re feeling blue
Some people do it when they’ve got nothing to do
Lovers like to do it on a midnight stroll
And a gambling man will do it when he loses his roll
He’ll do the slow walk
He’ll do the slow walk
You don’t do a lot of thinking, you don’t talk a lotta talk
You just shuffle them feet and you do the slow walk
Well a man will learn to do it if he’s stayed out all night
And he knows he headed home-he's in trouble all right
A prisoner learns to do it when he loses that appeal
And he knows he’s when he’s through when chewing up that last meal
He’ll do the slow walk
He’ll do the slow walk
You don’t do a lot of thinking you don’t talk a lotta talk
You just shuffle them feet and you do the slow walk
Well a juvenile delinquent’s got a crowbar in the door
Feels tapping on his shoulder, Faces 7 years or more
That new kids in town got it bad for Betty Lou
But little does he know is that all he’ll get to do is
He’ll do the slow walk
He’ll do the slow walk
You don’t do a lot of thinking you don’t talk a lotta talk
You just shuffle them feet and you do the slow walk
You do the slow walk
Do the slow walk
You don’t do a lot of thinking, you don’t talk a lotta talk
You just shuffle them feet and you do the slow walk
You do the slow walk
Do the slow walk
You don’t do a lot of thinking you don’t talk a lotta talk
You just shuffle them feet and you do the slow walk
