Tom : Db
C#
[Verse 1]
C#
Johnny please don't tell the people bout the bluebirds flight
Wasting education on a Tuesday night
G#
Yes, you are my pussy, you're just being mean
C#
Covering up the muscle in your Jordash jeans
B
Stick up the phone, who is it?
G#
Someone has come to visit
C#
Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues!
[Verse 2]
[Refrão]
C#
Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green
Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean
G#
Took me to the movies, but the doctor said
C#
Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds
[Chorus]
B
Stick up the phone, who is it?
G#
Someone has come to visit
C# F#
Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues!
[Verse 3]
C#
Now the captain ran for cover when the steamboats crashed
Driving off the bridges cause they got no class
G#
Barbara's got my number, now I've got to run
C#
Pizzas to deliver in the crackhouse slum, you know...
[Bridge]
F#
Sometimes when the night gets hot
C#
I search around for the crack I lost
F#
I wouldn't expect for you to notice me
G#
I would not expect you to say 'Johnny!'
[Verse 4]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Chorus]
B
Stick up the phone like we do
G#
Someone has come to see you
C# F#
Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues!
