GSpanish JohnnyC drove in from thDe underworld last night
With bruised Garms and broken rhythm in aC beat-up old Buick
But Gdressed just likeD dynamite
He tried Gsellin' his heart to theC hard girls over oDn Easy Street
But they sighed GJohnny it falls apart soC easy and you knoGw hearts these days aDre cheap
And the Cpimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're aG cheater
Well the Cpimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're aG liar
And from Cout of the shadows came a young girl's voice said Johnny don'tG cry
CPuertoC/B RicaAmn JanC/Be
CohC/B won't yoAmu tell mC/Be what's yoGur name
I want to Cdrive youC/B down to thAme other side oC/Bf town
Where Cparadise ain't soC/B crowded there'll be
Amaction goin' C/Bdown on ShantyG Lane tonight
All them Dgolden-heeled fairies in a Creal bitch fight
Pull thirty eights and Gkiss the girls goodD night
CHORUS 1:
Oh Ggood night, it'sC alrighDt Jane
Now let them Gblack boysC in to light thDe soul flame
We may Gfind it out on theC street tonighDt baby
Or Gwe may walk uCntil the daylighDt maybe
Well like a Gcool Romeo heC made his moves, oh shDe looked so fine
Like a Glate Juliet she knew he'dC never be true but theGn she didn't really miDnd
Upstairs a Gband was playin' theC singer was singin' something abouDt goin' home
She whispered Spanish GJohnny, you can leave me tConight but just don'Gt leave me aloDne
And Johnny cried CPuertoC/B RicaAmn JaC/Bne
CWord isC/B down thAme cops havC/Be found tGhe vein
Oh them CbarefootC/B boys left theiAmr homes for thC/Be woods
Them little Cbarefoot streetC/B boys they saAmy homes ain't nC/Bo good
They left the GcornerDs threw away all theirC switchblade knives
And Gkissed each other gooDdbye
Johnny was Gsittin' on the fire escapeC watchin' the kids playin' down thDe street
He called down GHey little heroes, summer'sC long
But I guess it ain't very sweet around Dhere anymore
Janey Gsleeps in sheets damp withC sweat
Johnny sits up alone and Dwatches her dream on, dream on
And the Gsister prays for lost souls
Then Cbreaks down in the chapelD after everyone's gone
GJane moves over to share her pillow
But Copens her eyes to see Johnny up andD putting his clothes on
She says those roCmantic young boys
All they Gever want to do is fight
Those roCmantic young boys they're callin' through the window
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to Gmake a little easy money tDonight?
And Johnny whispered
CHORUS 2:
GGood night, it'sC all tighDt Jane
I'll Gmeet you tomorrowC night on Lover'Ds Lane
We may Gfind it out on theC street tonighDt baby
Or Gwe may walk uCntil the daylighDt maybe
CHORUS 3:
Oh GGood night, it'sC all righDt Jane
I'm gonna Gmeet you tomorrowC night on Lover'Ds Lane
Oh we can Gfind it out on theC street tonighDt baby
Or Gwe may walk uCntil the daylighDt maybe
CHORUS 4:
Ah GGood night, it'sC all righDt Jane
I'll Gmeet you tomorrowC night on Lover'Ds Lane
Now we may Gfind it out on...on theC street tonighDt baby
Or we may Ghave to walk until theC morning lighDt ahhh
