Frankie And Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were lovers\nMan how those two cats could love\nThey promised to dig one another\nLong as stars remained above\nHe was her mate\nBut he couldn’t fly straight\nNow he was a cat that was lazy\nThinking of work made him frown\nAnd she had a bank that was crazy\nAnd his loans were not turned down\nShe was his fool\nAnd he played it real cool\nEnter a doll name of Nellie\nMan poets like Byron or Shelley\nWould have dubbed this chick the most\nJack this gal came on\nSort of like a female Don Juan\nYou never saw such a tangle\nThat Frankie sure fought for her gent\nShe threw punches from ev’ry angle\nMan it looked like the main event\nSomeone rang a bell\nBut daddy-o they couldn’t save Nell\nFrankie had whipped out a pistol\nAnd everyone made for the door\nShe started bustin the crystal\nJack she made that cannon roar\nNow ladies be careful!\nLook out!\nFrankie put down that gun!\nAnd when she fired the last shot\nDid johnny hear?\nHe did not\nMan she was such a lady\nOh how that Frankie did suffer\nHer tears were falling like rain\nThe sheriff who came in to cuff her\nUsed the cuffs with the platinum chain\nAnd nobody knew\nJust who was takin in who\nNow everyone bows when they pass her\nAnd frankie’s the toast of the town\nMan the moral is really a gasser\nIf he cheats simply shoot him down\nHe was her mate\nBut he wouldn’t fly straight\nHere’s a thought for you to contemplate\nIf you want to love you gotta fly straight\nAny questions?
