Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day


He do the song about the sweet lovin’ woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life


Here comes Johnny and he’ll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin’ shoes
Here come Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin’ blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day


He do the song about the sweet lovin’ woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life


Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Decidation devotion
Turning all the night time into the day


And after all the violence and double talk
There’s just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

I wonder where you are tonight
you’re probably on the rampage somewhere
you have been known to take delight
in gettin’ in somebody’s hair
and you always had the knack
fade to black

I bet you already made a pass
I see a darkened room somewhere
you run your finger round the rim of his glass
run your fingers through his hair
they scratch across his back
fade to black

well maybe it’s all for the best
but I wish I’d never been lassooed
maybe it’s some kind of test
I wish I’d never been tattooed
or been to hell and back
fade to black
