A#              D#                F
Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld
last night
             A#                          D#
With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up
old Buick
     A#                F
But dressed just like dynamite
          A#                       D#
He tried sellin' his heart to the hard girls
          F
over on Easy Street
                 A#                       D#
But they sighed Johnny it falls apart so easy
              A#                    F
and you know hearts these days are cheap
         D#
And the pimps swung their axes and said
                 A#
Johnny you're a cheater
         D#
Well the pimps swung their axes and said
                 A#
Johnny you're a liar
         D#
And from out of the shadows came a young
                                A#
girl's voice said Johnny don't cry

D#     A#/D  Cm   A#/D
Puerto Rican Jane
D# A#/D      Cm      A#/D        A#
oh won't you tell me what's your name
           D#        A#/D       Cm            A#/D
I want to drive you down to the other side of town
       D#                A#/D
Where paradise ain't so crowded there'll be
Cm           A#/D           A#
action goin' down on Shanty Lane tonight
         F                          D#
All them golden-heeled fairies in a real
bitch fight
                        A#                  F
Pull thirty eights and kiss the girls good night

Chorus:
   A#               D#       F
Oh good night, it's alright Jane
              A#        D#              F
Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame
       A#                   D#            F
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
   A#            D#                F
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 he'd never be true
But then she didn't really mind
Upstairs a band was playing
The singer was singing 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"
Oh them barefoot boys left their homes for
the woods
Them little barefoot street boys they say
homes ain't no good
They left the corners
Threw away all their switchblade knives
And kissed each other good-bye

Johnny was sitting on the fire escape
Watching the kids playing 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 calling through the window
"Hey Spanish Johnny, you want to make a little
easy money tonight?"
And Johnny whispered:
Good night, it's all tight Jane
I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
We may find it out on the street tonight baby
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe

Chorus:
Ah good night, it's all right Jane
I'm gonna meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
Ah we can find it out on the street tonight baby
Or we may walk until the daylight maybe

Ah, good night, it's all right Jane
I'll meet you tomorrow night on Lover's Lane
Now we may find it out on, on the street tonight
baby
Or we may have to walk until the morning light
maybe
(Good night, it's all right Jane)
(Good night, it's all right Jane)
(Good night, it's all right Jane)
(Good night, it's all right Jane)
(Good night)
