Frankie and Johnny

This the story of Frankie and Johnny

They were sweethearts forever, and ever, and ever

Ah yeah, ah yeah

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts

At least that's the way the story goes

Frankie bought everything for Johnny

From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes

Oh, he was a man alright

Oh, but he was doing her wrong

Let me tell you what's happened

A friend came running to Frankie

She said, "I wouldn't tell you no lie"

I saw that man of yours in a Jaguar

With a chick namеd Nellie Blye

Oh, if hе was your man, honey

Let me tell you he was doing you wrong

Now let me tell the rest of the story

Frankie ran around the corner

She peeked in a swinging place

And there she saw Johnny with a woman

He had his arms around her waist

Oh, he was a man alright

But Frankie could see that he was doing her wrong

(I know how bad)

Frankie reached down in her pocketbook

And up with a 44

She shot once, twice, three times

And Johnny fell on the hard wood floor

Oh, he was a man alright

But she shot him because he was doing her wrong

C'mon, man

She shot him, oh yeah

She shot him, oh yeah

Once, twice, three times

And Johnny fell on the hard wood floor

He was doing her wrong, oh yeah

And Johnny said

Frankie, you know I love you

Frankie, you know very well that I love you

Frankie, I wouldn't do you no wrong

Frankie, good God almighty I love you Frankie, oh

And that's the story of Frankie and Johnny

Ah, yeah
