Walk of life (Dire Straits)

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies,
Be-bop-alula, what I say.
Here comes Johnny singing I gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it play.
He got the action, he got the motion,
Yeah, the boy can play, dedication (Widmung), devotion (==dedication),
Turning all the night time into the day.

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman,
He do the song about the knife,
He do the walk, he do the walk of life,
Yeah, he do the walk of life.

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story,
Hand me down my walkin' shoes.
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory,
Backbeat the talkin' blues.
He got the action, he got the motion,
Yeah, the boy can play, dedication, devotion,
Turning all the night time into the day.

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman,...

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies,
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife,
You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life,
He do the walk of life.
