Lyrics
Johnny Cool was the king, he was the leader of the Boot Boys
He'd never cause no trouble, in a rumble make some noise
He heard about some chick and the way she liked to rock
He said, "Come here, honey, let me see you lift up your frock"
Miss Lucy was the chick and he knew she like to ball
He said, "Come on, Lucy, it don't matter to me at all"
But Miss Lucy got a fellow with a flick knife in his hand
Johnny Cool pull a shotgun, the man's in command
King Cool, King Kong, King Cool
King with all the kings
King of hearts he's a lover and he give her everything
King of spades he's a brother and he's doing his own thing
King of clubs makes a dollar, King of diamonds is a wedding ring
