Lyrics
Some folks say it's cool
To have some kind of lover
He don't believe it's true
Cause he just found another
And when they see him
They might see him on the street
He walks with a rhythm
So he's got some kind of beat
He clicks his heels a bit
His suit's a perfect fit
He knocks ‘em out
Although he looks alone
(Somebody)
Somebody wants him on the phone
(Shout)
They won't shout
He's the walkin' one and only
And they're calling him by name
He won't be leaving town
'Til he can cop some fame
They don't know what it takes
But it's the reason why
The girls all smile at him
As he goes walkin' by
His walkin' ain't too fast
He wants that thing to last
Hated to lose him
Although he looks alone
(Somebody)
Somebody wants him on the phone
Know what he's doin'
The walkin' one and only
And you know that he's on fire
If he don't look it
Then you're callin' me a liar
You pick your heros
And you put them up beside him
It's no contest
As the one and only risin'
Risin'
Risin'
(Risin')
He clicks his heels a bit
His suit's a perfect fit
He knocks ‘em out
Although he looks alone
(Somebody)
Somebody wants him on the phone
(Shout)
They won't shout
The walkin' one and only
And they're callin' him by name
He won't be leaving town
'Til he can cop some fame
They don't know what it takes
But it's the reason why
The girls all smile at him
As he goes walkin' by
(Walkin')
His walkin' ain't that fast
(Walkin')
He wants that mother to last
Hated to lose him
Although he looks alone
(Somebody)
Somebody wants him on the phone
Know what he's doin'
The walkin' one and only
And you know that he's on fire
If he don't look it
Then you're callin' me a liar
You pick your heros
And you put them up beside him
It's no contest
As the one and only risin'
Risin'
Risin'
