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.

Ooh, when you wet, it's slippery, yeah. Uh!

When it damp, it crampin'!

If it's slidin', you'll tumble down,

Won't want you on the ground

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!

'Cause when you wet, it's slippery, yeah

It's slippery, yeah!

When it damp, it crampin'!

When it damp, it crampin'!

If it slidin' up and down-a,

Don't want you on the ground,

Brother!

Hit me from the top,

You crazy muthafunkin'!

Hit me from the top,

You crazy muthafunkin'!

Hit me from the top,

Crazy muthafunkin'! 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!

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!
