Taken from the 1974 album 'Nightlife'. This song shows just how cool Lizzy could make a song even if it was a slow jam. Again, Lynott's base drives the song and the use of simplistic guitar slides makes it a pleasure to listen to. The lyrics are absolutely top notch. Enjoy!

Lyrics :-

Johnny Cool was the 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

And the way she likes to rock

He said ; 'Come here honey

Let me see ya lift up your frock'

Gonna be a little showdown

Showdown there

Gonna be a little showdown

Showdown there

Miss Lucy was a chick

And he knew she liked to ball

He said; 'Come on Lucy,

It doesn't matter to me at all'

But Miss Lucy got a fella

With a flick knife in his hand

Johnny Cool pulls a shotgun

The man's in command

Gonna be a little showdown

Showdown there

Gonna be a little showdown

Showdown there

King Cool

King Kong

King King

With all the Kings

King of hearts he's a lover

And he gives her everything

King of spades, he's a brother

Doin' his own thing

King of clubs makes a dollar

King of diamonds is a wedding ring

Gonna be a little showdown

Showdown there

Gonna be a little showdown

Showdown there

Gonna be a little showdown!

Showdown there!

Showdown!

Showdown there

Showdown

Showdown there

Low down, Showdown

Showdown there!

In the chorus, are they saying "showdown there" or "showdown yeah"?

That opening bass line kills me! I think it's much harder writing something simple that hits a nerve than it is to play a million notes to make your point.

One of the meanest tightest grooves the Lizzy had,Scott and Brian were great together in my opinion.

I'm not complaining, but I'm surprised this song hasn't been sampled by a rapper yet. I mean, this is a stone cold groove, ya know?
