Lyrics

[Intro]
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
[Verse 1]
Here comes Johnny singin' oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby, what I say
Here comes Johnny singin', "I Got A Woman"
Down in the tunnels, tryin' to make it pay
[PreChorus]
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' all the night time into the day
[Chorus]
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
Then he do the walk
Do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life
[Bridge]
Woo-hoo
[Verse 2]
Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you a story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Back beat, the talkin' blues
[PreChorus]
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' all the night time into the day
[Chorus]
The song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
Then he do the walk
Do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life
[Bridge]
Woo-hoo-hoo
[Verse 3]
Here comes Johnny singin' oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby, what I say
Here comes Johnny singin', "I Got A Woman"
Down in the tunnels, tryin' to make it pay
[PreChorus]
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' all the night time into the day
[Chorus]
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk
Yeah, you do the walk of life
Mmm, you do the walk of life
[Outro]
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo
Yeah, you do the walk of life
