    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.
