lyrics

Walken
(words & music by John Kimsey / John Kimsey Tunes, ASCAP)

He’s got his own way of walkin’
He’s got his own way of talkin’
He strikes all punctuation from the page
Whenever he prepares a script for screen or stage

Walken, Mr. Christopher Walken
With that funny way of talkin’
Walk on
Keep walkin’ that Walken talk ‘til the crowds go home

He gets typed as a psycho
But he’s the homebody type, oh yes
He’d like to host his own cooking show
While his wife does the casting for the Sopranos

Walken, Mr. Christopher Walken
Oh you wouldn’t want to stalk him
Oh no
He’ll open up a can of tap dance on your nose

He’s got vertical hair
He’s a hoofer from way back
He’ll sneak a plié in there
Before the camera cuts and they fade to black

In Whitley Streiber’s Communion
He played the one that was human
Even Balls of Fury felt the glow
That emanates from his Oscar portfolio

Walken, Mr. Christopher Walken
He’s way off of Stephen Hawking’s
Radar
‘Cause Christopher Walken is a frickin’ star

Walken, Mr. Christopher Walken
With that funny way of talkin’
Walk tall
Keep walkin’ that Walken talk ‘til the curtain falls
