Lyrics

Oh boy, oh boy
We're gonna do one more song, yeah?
Yeah?
One more song?
Yeah, yeah
We're all gonna fine-tune, yeah?
Oh, yeah here we go
Oh yeah
Comes Johnny singing oldies goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, baby, what I Say
Comes Johnny singing, I Got a Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, he got devotion
Turnin' all the night time into the day
The song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the six-blade-knife
Do the walk, do the walk of life
Yeah, do the walk of life
Come Johnny, gonna tell you the story now
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
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, he got devotion
Turnin' all the night time into the day
'Bout the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the six-blade-knife
Do the walk, do the walk of life
Oh, yeah, the walk of life
Here comes Johnny with the oldies goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, baby, what I Say
Comes Johnny singing Boney Maroney
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, he got devotion
Turnin' all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, do the walk of life
Oh, you do the walk of life
Oh
Yeah, that's right
Let's try to sit, to run away, old friend
