[Intro]
C F C G C G
[Verse 1]
C Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop C Back under the counter was the cream of the crop F Eveything was clicking and the business was good C 'Til one day, lo and behold, an officer stood G F Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell C G But Tulane made it over Johnny felt as he yelled
[Chorus]
C Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you C Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you F Go Tulane, use all the speed you got C Go Tulane, you know you need a lot G F Go Tulane, he laggin' behind C G Go ahead on, Tulane
[Verse 2]
C Go by your father's house and tell him business is slow C And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough F Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room C Go by Doctor Keller's, tell him you swollowed some perfume G F Tell him we need him quick, 'cause he may have to testify C G That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi
[Chorus]
C Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you C Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you F Go Tulane, use all the speed you got C Go Tulane, you know you need a lot G F Go Tulane, he laggin' behind C G Go ahead on, Tulane
[Verse 3]
C Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the man C Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van F Go back by your father's, get the money for the bail C And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail G F We got to get a lawyer in the click of politics C G Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fixed
[Chorus]
C Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you C Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you F Go Tulane, use all the speed you got C Go Tulane, you know you need a lot G F Go Tulane, he laggin' behind C G Go ahead on, Tulane, go ahead on
