"Tulane" lyrics
(originally by Chuck Berry)
Tulane and Johnny opened up a novelty shop
Behind the counter was the cream of the crop
Everything was clicking and the business was good
One day, lo and behold, an officer stood
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
Tulane made it over, Johnny belted a yell
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 on Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's lagging behind
Go head on
Go by your daddy's house and tell him "business is slow"
And see if he can loan us something, soon as you hit the door
Put the cat out in the hallway, rumple up the room
Call up Doctor Keller, say you swallowed some perfume
Say you need him quick because he may have 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 on Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's lagging behind
Go head on
Go, let Daddy drive, in case you run into the man
Back to the shop and get the shit and hide it in the van
Go back to the house, get the money for the bail
Bring it down and get me out this rotten, fuckin' jail
We gotta get a lawyer, one who's thick in politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed
Go 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 on Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's lagging behind
Go head on
Behind the counter was the cream of the crop
Everything was clicking and the business was good
One day, lo and behold, an officer stood
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
Tulane made it over, Johnny belted a yell
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 on Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's lagging behind
Go head on
Go by your daddy's house and tell him "business is slow"
And see if he can loan us something, soon as you hit the door
Put the cat out in the hallway, rumple up the room
Call up Doctor Keller, say you swallowed some perfume
Say you need him quick because he may have 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 on Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's lagging behind
Go head on
Go, let Daddy drive, in case you run into the man
Back to the shop and get the shit and hide it in the van
Go back to the house, get the money for the bail
Bring it down and get me out this rotten, fuckin' jail
We gotta get a lawyer, one who's thick in politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed
Go 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 on Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's lagging behind
Go head on
