Walk of Life Lyrics
[Intro]
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
[Verse 1]
Here come Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, baby what I say
Here comes Johnny singing “I got a woman”
Down in the tunnels, trying make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh, yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turnin' all the nighttime into the day
[Chorus]
He do the song about the sweet loving woman
He do the song about the knife
Then he do the walk, do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life
Woo-hoo
[Verse 2]
Here come Johnny gonna tell you the story
Hand me down, my walking shoes
Here come Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat, the talking blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh, yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the nighttime into the day
[Chorus]
He do the song about the sweet loving woman
He do the song about the knife
And he do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life
Woo-ho-ho
[Verse 3]
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, baby what I say
Here comes Johnny singing “I gotta woman”
Down in the tunnels, trying make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh, yeah, the boy can play
The dedication, devotion
Turning all the nighttime into the day
[Chorus]
And after all the violence and double-talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life
Mmm, they do the walk of life
[Outro]
Woo-ho
Woo-ho-ho
Woo-ho-ho
Woo-ho
Woo-ho-ho
