| I gotta get some money and get it right away
|
| Because my baby she gave me the word today
|
| She’s tired of sittin' home each night, she says she has her fill
|
| And if I don’t take her to the dance next week, Johnny will
|
| I checked and found they’re sellin' tickets at five bucks each
|
| And all that kinda money ain’t within my reach
|
| But if I wanna be the guy who is her only thrill
|
| I better take her to the dance next week or Johnny will
|
| Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
|
| He’s been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away-a
|
| Sends her candy, sends her flowers
|
| And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today
|
| I tried to borrow it from my friends but they said «no»
|
| Still somehow some way I just gotta get that dough
|
| My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
|
| 'cause if I don’t take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will
|
