The Letter (That Johnny Walker Read) - Live

(Me and Elizabeth are gonna sing this song about the letter that Johnny Walker read, hit it boy!)

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar
Minding his own affairs
Drinking his namesake over the rocks
He was drunk, too drunk to care

When a girl from the bar walked up beside him
And this is what she said
She said, "A woman came by with a letter for you"
And this is what the letter said (the singing letter)

"Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home
I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed
And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone"
Yes, that's what the letter said
The letter that Johnny Walker read
(Rrread that!)

Then John, he got up from the table
Slowly, so slowly he walked outside
You know, he was thinking of his wife and his 12 little children back at home
And how his drinking had ruined their lives (now folks, here is where it gets really really sad)

Then John, he stared off into that street light
And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread
For you see folks, it was him lying drunk there in the gutter (all covered with flies and stuff)
Clutching in his little own hand the letter that Johnny Walker read
And this here is what it said

"Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home
I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed
And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone"
Yes, that's what the letter said
The letter that Johnny Walker read (here we go!)

"Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home
I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed
And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone"
Yes, that's what the letter said
The letter that Johnny Walker read

Yes, that's what the letter said
The letter that Johnny Walker read
Yes, that's what the letter said
The letter that Johnny Walker read

(Right!)
