Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop
|
Back under the counter, was the cream of the crop
|
Everything was clickin’ and the business was good
|
Till one day, lo and behold, an officer stood
|
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
|
But Tulane made it over Johnny just as he yelled
|
|
Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
|
Go Tulane, he ain’t man enough for you
|
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
|
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
|
Go Tulane, he’s laggin’ behind
|
Go head on, Tulane
|
|
Go by your father’s house and tell him the business is slow
|
And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough
|
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
|
Go by Doctor Keller an' tell him you swallowed some perfume
|
Tell him we need him quick, ‘cos he may have to testify
|
That you been sick all day and that’s a perfect alibi
|
|
Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
|
Go Tulane, he ain’t man enough for you
|
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
|
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
|
Go Tulane, he’s laggin’ behind
|
Go head on, Tulane
|
|
Go, let Daddy drive in case you run into the Man
|
Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van
|
Go back by your father’s, get the money for the bail
|
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
|
We gotta get a lawyer in the clique of politics
|
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fix
|
|
Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
|
Go Tulane, he ain’t man enough for you
|
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
|
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
|
Go Tulane, he’s laggin’ behind
|
Go head on, Tulane
|
