For their first song as a reunited band, Aerosmith decided to record Joe Perry’s “Let the Music Do the Talking” which he had previously released under his self-titled solo project. Everybody in Aerosmith were quite impressed with Joe Perry’s original, and thought that it would perfectly encapsulate...
[Verse 1]
Rock-a-bye baby
If you want to dance
Grab yourself a body
And take a chance
Said one time around
All you get
I'm still dancing
So you lost your bet
I got a hardcore mama
With a hot hoochie coo
Make my wheels start spinning
Like a formula two
[Chorus]
I got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking 'cause I can't wait
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
[Verse 2]
Cheese cake
Maybe if I take another bite
I'm real fat city
I'm an aero delight
Threw out my pipe
And my alkaline
Got a squeaky clean body
And a dirty mind
I'm a real fine dancer
I'll be cutting the rug
Got a brand new baby
She's my brand new drug
[Chorus]
I got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking 'cause I can't wait
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
[Outro]
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
