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

F#m Em

There's gonna be a little showdown

F#m Em D

Showdown yeh,Gonna be a little

F#m Em F#m Em Bm

Showdown showdown 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
