Here comes Johnny, singin' oldies, goldies, beebobalooba baby, what I say
Here comes Johnny, singin' "I got a woman", down in the tunnel trying to make it pay
A                                     E
 He got the action, he got the motion. Well, the boy can play
A                      E
 Dedication, devotion. Turning all the night times into the day
       E                         B
Do the song about a sweet lovin' woman
           E                 A
And do the song about the night
             E    B               A
Baby, do the walk, do the walk of life
  B                  E
Yeah, do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you a story. Hand me down my walking shoes
Here comes Johnny, with the power and the glory. Back beat, the talking blues
A                                     E
 He got the action, he got the motion. Well, the boy can play
A                      E
 Dedication, devotion. Turning all the night times into the day
       E                         B
Do the song about a sweet lovin' woman
           E                 A
And do the song about the night
             E    B               A
Baby, do the walk, do the walk of life
  B                  E
Yeah, do the walk of life

 Dedication, devotion. Turning all the night times into the day
    E                          B
And after all the violence and double-talk
            E                               A
It's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
             E    B               A
Baby, do the walk, do the walk of life
  B                  E
