Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night with bruised arms and broken rhythm and a beat-up old Buick but dressed just like dynamite. He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street. But they said "Johnny it falls apart so easy and you know hearts these days are cheap.". And the pimps swung their axes and said "Johnny you're a cheater.". Well the pimps swung their axes and said "Johnny you're a liar.". And from out of the shadows cam e a young girl's voice said: "Johnny don't cry.". Puerto Rican Jane oh won't you tell me what's your name.. I want to drive you down to the other side of town where paradise ain't so crowded and there'll be action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight. All the golden heeled fairies in a real bitch-fight pull thirty-eights and kiss their girls goodnight.. Goodnight it's alright Jane. Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame. We may find it out on the street tonight baby. Or we may walk until the daylight maybe.. Well like a cool Romeo he made his moves oh she looked so fine. Like a late Juliet she knew she'd never be true but then she really didn't mind. Upstairs a band was playin' and the singer was singin' something about going home. She whispered "Spanish Johnny you can leave me tonight but just don't leave me alone.". And Johnny cried "Puerto Rican Jane word is down the cops have found the vein.". Them bare foot boys left their homes for the woods. Them little barefoot street boys they said their homes ain't no good. They left the corners threw away their switchblade knives and kissed each other goodbye.. Johnny was sittin' on the fire escape watchin' the kids playin' down the. street. He called down "Hey little heroes summer's long but I guess it ain't very sweet around here anymore. Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat Johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on dream on. And the sister prays for lost souls then breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone.. Jane moves over to share her pillow but opens her eyes to see Johnny up and putting his clothes on. She says "Those romantic young boys all they ever want to do is fight. Those romantic young boys they're callin' through the window:. Hey Spanish Johnny you want to make a little easy money tonight?". And Johnny whispered "Goodnight it's all tight Jane. I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane. We may find it out on the street tonight now baby. Or we may walk until the daylight baby.". Goodnight it's alright Jane I'm gonna meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane. We can find it out on the street tonight baby. Or we may walk until it's daylight maybe..
