Showdown Songtext
von Thin Lizzy

This is a number written about the boot boys
You got it?
Especially the boot boys that follow Manchester United at the time
It′s a number called "Showdown"

Johnny Cool was king, he was the leader of the boot boys
He'd never cause no trouble in a rumble, make some noise
He heard about some chick, the way she liked to ride
He said, "Come here, honey, let me see you lift up your pride"

(Showdown) there′s gonna be a showdown
(Showdown) gonna be a showdown
(Showdown) get the lowdown
(Showdown) yeah

Miss Lucy was the chick, he knew she liked to ball
He said, "Come on, Lucy, don't matter to me at all"
But Miss Lucy got a fella with a flick knife in his hand
Johnny Cool got a shotgun, the man's in command


(Showdown) there′s gonna be a showdown
(Showdown) gonna be a showdown
(Showdown) get the lowdown
(Showdown) yeah

Showdown
Showdown, yeah
Showdown
Showdown, yeah

King Kong, King Cool, King King with all the kings
King of Hearts, he′s the lover, he give you everything
King of Spades is a brother doing his own thing
King of Club make a dollar, King of Diamonds the one with the rings

(Showdown) there's gonna be a showdown
(Showdown) will be a showdown
(Showdown) get the lowdown
(Showdown) yeah

Gonna be a little showdown
Showdown, yeah
Showdown
Showdown, yeah
Hey, you with the sexy hips
Johnny wanna kiss your lips
What Johnny want, Johnny gets
