Aerosmith - Gypsy Boots Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
The lyrics reflect themes of freedom, adventure, and living life on the edge, resonating with Aerosmith’s own rock 'n' roll ethos. Musically, the track features gritty guitar riffs, a fast-paced rhythm, and Steven Tyler’s raspy, energetic vocals, delivering a raw and unapologetic performance. "Gypsy Boots" stands out as a high-octane track that encapsulates the band's unrestrained attitude during their mid-1980s resurgence.
Song lyrics
Gypsy, gypsy, dancing feet
Gypsy, gypsy, bittersweet
Screamer, dreamer, disarray
Gypsy, gypsy, why did you fly away
No good, papa's no good
Sister's no good and that's a drag
Sometimes you're feeling
Like your head's on the ceiling
When you scream hey mama...rag
When your daddy come home
With an old soup bone
Cause he drank all the money away
And your mama's in the kitchen
On the phone she be bitching
And your girlfriend who called to say
Gypsy, gypsy, dancing feet
Gypsy, gypsy, bittersweet
Screamer, dreamer, disarray
Gypsy, gypsy, why did you fly away
High school lover, with your corpse undercover
Getting high jack...Lebanese
Hey mama, choose it, you all been through it
Or be falling off you right to your knees
Pair a shades, shotgun, rock on
Chewing gum, take it to the dance tonight
Your a love/hate child with wild child smile
And you don't care wrong from right
Gypsy, gypsy, dancing feet
Gypsy, gypsy, bittersweet
Screamer, dreamer, disarray
Gypsy, gypsy, why did you fly away
Nobody but nobody baby
Knocking my socks off
Rock, rock, rocking
I'll be gotten, I'll be getting my rocks off
Nobody but nobody shooting
Never gets a shot off
Yeah, yeah, yeah
