The Boy Looked At Johnny

The boy looked at Johnny and said
My word that was fun
When he did it with his hat on
Like in a saddle with his gun
We're in slow motion eating breakfast
At the side view hotel
Oh sipping down a pipe
Everything's going so well
New York city's very pretty in the night time
But don't you miss Soho
Where everybody goes
La de di la de di da diddy
The boy looked at Johnny
He said "Don't you know who I think I am"
Well I knew you once before
Now Im trying all I can
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
No no no no no
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
New York city's very pretty in the night time
But don't you miss Soho
Where everybody goes
La de di la de di da diddy
