 Well, Frankie
 Frankie told Johnny
 Lord, I want a diamond ring
 Oh, Johnny told Frankie
 I'll get you most anything
 Oh Johnny went down to the German
 On Rampart and Dumaine
 He walked in the store
 The German had a diamond in his hand
 Te-na, Te-na-na
 Te-na, Na-ne-na
 Te-na, Na-na-na
 Te-na, Na-na-n'-na
 Oh, Johnny, Johnny shot the German
 Lord, an he shot him through the head
 He ran out the do'
 And he fell on the sidewalk, dead
 When Frankie
 Frankie, got the news
 The jury want him dead
 She come runnin', hollin'
 Lord, talkin' all out her head
 Well, Johnny started to runnin'
 Lord, and he didn't no where to do
 They found Johnny hollin'
 In the grocery store next door
 Then the policeman
 Handcuffed and beat him
 And they took Johnny out of sight
 He said, 'That's alright, Frankie
 Ev'rything gonna be alright'
 (Aaaaah!)
 (Instrumental)
 'Alright!'
 Te-na, Te-na-ne-na
 Te-na-na, Na-ne-na
 Te-na, Na-na-na
 Te-na, Na-na, na-ne-na.
