Frankie and Johnny 歌詞
Frankie and Johnny - Sammy Davis Jr.
Written by:TradArr/Green/Cahn
Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Man how those two cats could love
They promised to dig one another
Long as stars remained above
He was her mate
But he couldn't fly straight
Now he was a cat that was lazy
Thinking of work made him frown
And she had a bank that was crazy
And his loans were not turned down
She was his fool
And he played it real cool
Enter a doll named Anellie
A weirdie the hipster would boast
Man poets like byron or shelley
Would have dubbed this chick the most
Jack this gal came on
Sort of like a female don one
You never saw such a tangle
That frankie sure fought for her gent
She threw punches from every angle
Man it looked like the main event
Someone rang a bell
But daddy o they couldn't save nell
Frankie had whipped out a pistol
And everyone made for the door
She started busting the crystal
Jack she made that cannon roar
Now ladies
Be careful
Look out
Frankie
Put down that gun
And when she fired the last shot
Did Johnny hear
He did not
Man she was such a lady
Oh how that Frankie did suffer
Her tears were falling like rain
The sheriff who came in to cuff her
Used the cuffs with the platinum chain
And nobody knew
Just who was taking in who
Now everyone bows when they pass her
And frankies the toast of the town
Man the moral is really a gasser
If he cheats simply shoot him down
He was her mate
But he wouldn't fly straight
Here's a thought for you to contemplate
If you want to love you gotta fly straight
Any questions
