BbSpanish Johnny Ebdrove in from the Funderworld last night
With bruised Bbarms and broken rhythm in a Ebbeat-up old Buick
But Bbdressed just like Fdynamite
He tried Bbsellin' his heart to the Ebhard girls over on FEasy Street
But they sighed BbJohnny it falls apart so Ebeasy and you know Bbhearts these days are Fcheap
And the Ebpimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a Bbcheater
Well the Ebpimps swung their axes and said Johnny you're a Bbliar
And from Ebout of the shadows came a young girl's voice said Johnny don't Bbcry
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
Puerto Rican Jane
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Bb (Octaves: Eb D C Bb)
oh won't you tell me what's your name
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
I want to drive you down to the other side of town
Eb Eb/D
Where paradise ain't so crowded there'll be
Cm Eb/D Bb
action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight
All them Fgolden-heeled fairies in a Ebreal bitch fight
Pull thirty eights and Bbkiss the girls good Fnight
CHORUS 1:
Oh Bbgood night, it's Ebalright FJane
Now let them Bbblack boys Ebin to light the Fsoul flame
We may Bbfind it out on the Ebstreet tonight Fbaby
Or Bbwe may walk unEbtil the daylight Fmaybe
Well like a Bbcool Romeo he Ebmade his moves, oh she Flooked so fine
Like a Bblate Juliet she knew he'd Ebnever be true but then Bbshe didn't really mind F
Upstairs a Bbband was playin' the Ebsinger was singin' something about Fgoin' home
She whispered Spanish BbJohnny, you can leave me toEbnight but just don't Bbleave me alone F
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
And Johnny cried Puerto Rican Jane
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D Bb (Octaves: Eb D C Bb)
Word is down the cops have found the vein
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
Oh them barefoot boys left their homes for the woods
Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/D
Them little barefoot street boys they say homes ain't no good
They left the BbcornersF threw away all their Ebswitchblade knives
And Bbkissed each other goodFbye
Johnny was Bbsittin' on the fire escape Ebwatchin' the kids playin' down the Fstreet
He called down BbHey little heroes, summer's Eblong
But I guess it ain't very sweet around Fhere anymore
Janey Bbsleeps in sheets damp with Ebsweat
Johnny sits up alone and Fwatches her dream on, dream on
And the Bbsister prays for lost souls
Then Ebbreaks down in the chapel Fafter everyone's gone
BbJane moves over to share her pillow
But Ebopens her eyes to see Johnny up and Fputting his clothes on
She says those roEbmantic young boys
All they Bbever want to do is fight
Those roEbmantic young boys they're callin' through the window
Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to Bbmake a little easy money toFnight?
And Johnny whispered
CHORUS 2:
BbGood night, it's Eball tight FJane
I'll Bbmeet you tomorrow Ebnight on Lover's FLane
We may Bbfind it out on the Ebstreet tonight Fbaby
Or Bbwe may walk unEbtil the daylight Fmaybe
CHORUS 3:
Oh BbGood night, it's Eball right FJane
I'm gonna Bbmeet you tomorrow Ebnight on Lover's FLane
Oh we can Bbfind it out on the Ebstreet tonight Fbaby
Or Bbwe may walk unEbtil the daylight Fmaybe
CHORUS 4:
Ah BbGood night, it's Eball right FJane
I'll Bbmeet you tomorrow Ebnight on Lover's FLane
Now we may Bbfind it out on...on the Ebstreet tonight Fbaby
Or we may Bbhave to walk until the Ebmorning light Fahhh
