Am        Em      Dm         Am
Here I am walkin' down the street,
                            Em
(Walking, walking, walking, walking,
         Dm
walking, walking, walking),
         Am       Em    Dm          Am
And the children every-thing is so sweet.
                 Em    Dm
(Wo-wo-wo sweet, wo-wo-wo sweet).

    Am            Em
I'm doin' my best,
        Dm       Am   Em  Dm
And I'm doin' it slow.
             Am             Em
But there is just one thing,
        Dm          Am    Em  Dm
I would like you to know.

       G                        Am
Ooh, when you wet it's slipper-y, yeah,
F                 C
When it damp it crampin'!
G                         Am
If it's slidin' you will tumble down,
F                       C
Won't want you on the ground.

Chorus:
Em            Am
Caution; the road is wet,
Em             Am
Black soul is black as jet. (Did you hear me?)
Em            Am
Caution; the road is hot,
Em             Am
You got to do better than that.

        G                       Am
'Cos, when you wet it's slipper-y, yeah,
F                C
When it damp it crampin'!
G               Am
If its slidin' up and down,
F                       C
Don't want you on the ground, brother!

Am                        Em          Dm   Am Em Dm
Hit me from the top, you crazy mutha-funker.
Am                        Em          Dm   Am Em Dm
Hit me from the top, you crazy mutha-funker.
Am                        Em          Dm
Hit me from the top, you crazy mutha-funker. Eh!

When you wet, it's slippery, yeah. Uh!
When it damp, it crampin
If you slidin', you're tumblin' down
Don't want you on the ground! Don't, don't

Chorus:
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!
