(instrumental intro)

Known for playing villains who are creepy;
Gabriel, Archangel - no less.
Mean expressions, glares from him suggest possession
By somebody else who acts, but gets no rest.

Weird brutes were played by Walken;
That's not all he can do.
Sings and writes plays, and shoot!
Christopher Walken's funny, too.

(brief instrumental break)

He's been tryin' comic relief by spoofin'
Roles he'd been usin' from his Hollywood set.
Barbs he's aimin' at his villains by arrangin'
"Live on Saturday Night!" - laugh 'til your eyes are wet.

Weird brutes were played by Walken;
That's not all he can do.
Sings and writes plays, and shoot!
Christopher Walken's funny, too.

(brief instrumental break)

He's been playin' more than you've seen him playin.'
His work's not shrinkin', 'cause his craft had been learned.
He is still in demand for roles, in batches.
"Deer Hunter" role, an Oscar he had earned.

Weird brutes were played by Walken;
That's not all he can do.
Sings and writes plays, and shoot!
Christopher Walken's funny, too.

Spoken: Camera ready, shoot! Chris Walken!
