The women all ravin'
Aout Johnnie in this town
Women all ravin'
About Johnnie in this town
An he got something
Woo-well-well, make the women clown

(piano)

He made them laugh
An he made them cry
He made them laugh
An he made them cry
He have a sweet way of lovin'
Woo-well-well, an that's the reason why

(piano & guitar)

He got something
That will make them clown
He now got something
That will make them clown
Well-now, an he made one woman
Now jump overboard and drown

(piano & guitar)

Don't never tell
What the Johnnie man can do
Please, don't never tell
What the Johnnie man can do
Because that will make other women
Ooo-well, now want to clown over him, too.
