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,
Oh 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.
And he do the walk (do the walk),
Do the walk (do the walk) of life.
Yeah, the walk of life.
Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you a 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,
Oh 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.
And he do the walk (do the walk),
Do the walk (do the walk) of life.
Yeah, 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,
Oh yeah, the boy can play.
Dedication, devotion,
Turning 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,
Yeah he do the walk (do the walk),
Do the walk (do the walk) of life.
Yeah, the walk of life.
