[Dm]Johnny Cool was the king
The leader of the boot boys
He'd never cause no trouble
In a rumble make some noise
He heard about some chick
And they she like to rock
He said "Come here honey"
"Let me see you lift up your frock"
Chorus
There's gonna be a little [F#m]show[Em]down
[F#m]Show[Em]down [D]yeh,Gonna be a little
[F#m]Show[Em]down [F#m]show[Em]down [Bm]yeh
[Dm]Miss Lucy was a chick
He knew she like to ball
He said "Come on Lucy"
"It doesn't matter to me at all"
But Miss Lucy got a fella
With a flick knife in his hand
Johnny Cool pulls a shotgun
The man is in command
