[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

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
