Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop
D
Back under the counter was the cream of the crop
G
Everything was clickin? and the business was good
D
Till one day, lo behold, an officer stood
A G
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
D G
Tulane made it over Johnny just as he yelled
CHORUS:
D
Go head on, Tulane, he can?t catch up with you
D
Go Tulane, he ain?t man enough for you
G
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

A G
Go Tulane, he?s laggin? behind
D G
Go head on, Tulane, go head on
VERSE 2:
D
Go by your father?s house and tell him business is slow
D
And see if he will loan you something, soon you?ll get the dough
G
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
D
Go by Doctor Keller an' tell him you swallowed some perfume
A G
Tell him we need him quick ?cause he may have to testify
D G
That you been sick all day, and that?s a perfect alibi

Go head on, Tulane, he can?t catch up with you

D
Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van
G
Go back by your father?s, get the money for the bail
D
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
A G
We gotta get a lawyer in the clique of politics
D G
Somebody who can win the thing or get this thing fixed
CHORUS:
