Walk On
Walk On may refer to:
Walk-on (sports)
The term walk-on is used in sports, particularly American college athletics, to describe an athlete who becomes part of a team without being actively recruited beforehand or awarded an athletic scholarship. This results in the differentiation between "walk-on" players and "scholarship" players.
College football
Walk-ons have a particularly developed history in college football. Often these athletes are relegated to the scout team, and may not even be placed on the official depth chart or traveling team. However, there are occasions, sometimes well publicized, where a walk-on will become a noted member of his or her team in one of several ways.
Bit part
A bit part is a role in which there is direct interaction with the principal actors and no more than five lines of dialogue (often referred to as a "five or less" in the United States). In British television, bit parts are referred to as under sixes. A bit part is higher than that of an extra and lower than that of a supporting actor. An actor who regularly performs in bit roles, either as a hobby or to earn a living, is referred to as a bit player, a term also used to describe an aspiring actor who has not yet broken into major supporting or leading roles.
Unlike extras, who do not typically interact with principals, actors in bit parts are sometimes listed in the credits. An exception to this practice is the cameo appearance, wherein a well-known actor or other celebrity appears in a bit part; it is common for such appearances to be uncredited. Another exception occurred in MGM's 1951 screen version of the musical Show Boat, in which the role of the cook Queenie (Frances E. Williams) was reduced from a significant supporting role in the stage version to a bit part in the film. Williams, whose appearance was not intended as a cameo, was not listed at all in the credits. On the other hand, William Warfield, whose role as Joe, Queenie's husband, was also drastically shortened in the film from the stage original, did receive screen credit because he sang Ol' Man River.

Walk On In
by: Lou RawlsIf you want somebody to look after you
And you're tired of livin' alone the way that you?ve been, yeah
Don't you worry, don't be shy, call me up and come on by
Just walk, walk on, walk on in
I said if you need a shoulder you can lean on, yeah
Someone to stand by you through thick and thin
Now, you just point your feet in my direction
They will know where to go
And they will walk, walk on, walk on in
I said now once you get to movin', movin'
Nothin' hurts you quite so bad
And your spirit gets to groovin', groovin'
And your heart's starts to feelin' glad
And you?re thankful for all you have
So if you feel the need for someone to be with, oh yeah
To deny it would surely, surely be a sin
Sometimes all you need, all you need
Is a place where you can go
You can just walk, walk on, walk on in
Every day now, baby, you can walk, walk on, walk on in
Don't you let nobody turn you away
Walk on, walk on, walk on in
Listen to me baby, now, w-w-walk on in
