[00:00.00]Frankie And Johnnie - Sammy Davis, Jr.
[00:02.85]Frankie and Johnny were lovers
[00:06.49]Man how those two cats could love
[00:10.21]They promised to dig one another
[00:13.53]Long as stars remained above
[00:16.70]He was her mate
[00:20.50]But he couldn't fly straight
[00:25.35]Now he was a cat that was lazy
[00:29.83]Thinking of work made him frown
[00:33.19]And she had a bank that was crazy
[00:37.01]And his loans were not turned down
[00:39.90]She was his fool
[00:43.95]And he played it real cool
[00:49.56]Enter a doll named Anellie
[00:52.91]A weirdie the hipster would boast
[00:56.62]Man poets like Byron or Shelley
[01:00.49]Would have dubbed this chick the most
[01:03.34]Jack this gal came on
[01:06.80]Sort of like a female done what
[01:12.74]You never saw such a tangle
[01:15.20]That Frankie sure fought for her gent
[01:18.47]She threw punches from every angle
[01:21.83]Man it looked like the main event
[01:24.36]Someone rang a bell
[01:26.75]But daddy o they couldn't save Nell
[01:33.74]Frankie had whipped out a pistol
[01:36.46]And everyone made for the door
[01:39.55]She started busting the crystal
[01:42.17]Jack she made that cannon roar
[01:51.77]Now ladies be careful
[01:54.85]Look out
[01:56.87]Frankie put down that gun
[01:59.33]And when she fired the last shot
[02:02.24]Did Johnny hear
[02:04.52]He did not
[02:07.69]Man she was such a lady
[02:11.25]Oh how that Frankie did suffer
[02:14.84]Her tears were falling like rain
[02:18.22]The sheriff who came in to cuff her
[02:22.24]Used the cuffs with the platinum chain
[02:25.52]And nobody knew
[02:29.51]Just who was taking in who
[02:34.91]Now everyone bows when they pass her
[02:38.70]And Frankie's the toast of the town
[02:42.89]Man the moral is really a Gasser
[02:46.85]If he cheats simply shoot him down
[02:49.91]He was her mate
[02:54.24]But he wouldn't fly straight
[03:02.10]Here's a thought for you to contemplate
[03:05.74]And if you want to love you gotta fly straight
[03:15.86]Any questions
