The Dread Lyrics by Ruby Rose Fox

Ruby Rose Fox

0

Little Sally Walker goes walking down the street
She didn't have no shoes and she had no food to eat
Johnny Russell Lightly promised money, promised bread
She didn't want to call so she texted him instead

Oh, Little Lily Lou is a pretty fancy girl
She writes for a major magazine and dresses like a pearl
Johnny Russell Lightly, he don't have a lot of clout
Put his number on her hand, said "I'd like to take you out"

Oh, Little Sally Walker, do your thing, do your thing
Little Lily Lou, do your thing, do your thing
You might think he's on a one-night fling
But Johnny is in bed with the dread

Oh, Julie Maroon is wild but has some poise
She buys all her books on Amazon, she like both girls and boys
Johnny took her skinny-dipping in the month of June
And now it's almost August and she hopes he'll call her soon

Well, don't get me wrong, Johnny Lightly's a good man
He just wants a relationship and cannot understand
Why, he finds a lady and oh, he thinks she's fine
But after a few dates, he goes fishing back on line

Oh, Little Sally Walker, do your thing, do your thing
Little Lily Lou, do your thing, do your thing
Don't be waitin' for some diamond ring
'Cause Johnny is in bed with the dread, dread

So Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, I'm picking up my drool
'Cause I've been educated inside the Golden Rule
I'm pushing things along and I will not wait around
Just to blow a lot of dough to try to nail you down

Little Sally Walker, do your thing, do your thing
Little Lily Lou, do your thing, do your thing
You might think he's on a one-night fling
But Johnny is in bed with the dread, the dread
