Yeah ulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop
Back under the counter was the cream of the crop
Everything was clickin' and the business was good
But one day lo and behold, an officer stood
Yeah Johnny jumped the counter then he stumbled and fell
But Tulane made it over, Johnny jumped up and yelled

Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you gonna need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' behind
Go head on, Tulane

Yeah go by your father’s house and tell him business is slow
And see if he will leave us something, soon as you hit the door
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go by Doctor Kelly's tell him swab us up a few
Tell him that we need it quick 'cause need to testify
That you been sick all day, and that’s a perfect alibi

Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you gonna need a lot
Go Tulane, he laggin' behind
Go head on, Tulane
Go, let Daddy drive, in case you run into the man
Yeah back it by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van
Go back by your father’s, get the money for the bail
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
We gotta get a lawyer in the clique of politics
Somebody who can fix the thing or get the thing fixed

Go head on, Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you gonna need a lot
Go Tulane, he can’t catch up with you
Go head on, Tulane

Yeah go, go Johnny go
Yeah go, go go Johnny go
Yeah go Johnny
Yeah Johnny B. Goode
