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.
A                                     E
He got the action, he got the motion, oh yeah ! The boy can play.
A                     E
Dedication, devotion, turning all the night time into the day.

            E                           B
He`d do the song about the sweet lovin' woman,
E                                   A
he`d do the song about the knife,

he`d do the walk, do the walk of life. 
B                         E
Yeah, he`d do the walk of life.

back-beats, the talkin' blues.
A
He got the action, he got the motion, 
E
oh yeah, the boy can play.
A                     E
