Johnny Johnny John

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny John
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny John

There was a boy just a beautiful boy
Just a boy just a beautiful boy
With beautiful hair and some glasses downstairs
On the floor next to tissues and toys

And he was so careful occasionally
Sat on the floor next to mommy and me
And when he stood up with his hands feeling rough
Here's what he said to me

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny John
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny John

Now the round carousel had a lemony smell
Sargent Crumble was talking to me
The boy and his hands grew up into a man
So exhausted unusually

What's in the closet that's hid by the door
What are the locks and the paper signs for
A rope and a man sang with Tony Tones band
As they danced a dim symphony chord

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny John
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny John

And every single day I miss you cause I know your never ever coming home
Didn't Johnny give you love from me when you were talking with him on the phone
Did he give you all the reasons that I gave him did you even hear him say I love you

If you look in my eyes Johnny what do you see
Do you see how much I love you do you Oh do you Johnny yeah

Johnny was a rebel and his head was never level uh huh
Johnny went to school but Johnny only played the fool uh huh
Yeah Johnny he could see it and he knew that he could be it uh huh
So his father told him so if you want it Johnny go

So he sang and played his old Vanguard
And he went places oh so far away
Yeah from singing words to writing songs
Moving them with all the ones he played

As the lights went down
As he made such a melodic sound
And we swayed in the crowded crowd
As Johnny Johnny played Johnny John was oh so proud

And he played to the crowded crowd
As Johnny Johnny sang Johnny John was oh so proud
And around Johnny John were all his fans
Singing Johnny's songs with him and Tony Tone's band
