Johnny {x16} Johnny's a child, we better watch out
was top of the class before he was even born
Johnny was hard, he was nails, we were not
and when he opened his mouth, then out came the foghorn
Gimme your money or I'll have ya
Gimme some food or your dead
Gimme the answers to your homework
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Stuck in such a funny place
has no name, no time, no space
heading for the pavement once again
been here many times before
between the ceiling and the floor
heading for the pavement once again
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again)
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again, now I'm back again)
Johnny {repeatedly}
Johnny was mean
captain of the rugby team
six feet tall with a fist like a bowling ball
Johnny was mad, mad, Johnny was bad
he was hungry for blood and he screamed down my earhole
Gimme your money or I'll have ya gimme some food or your dead
gimme the answers to your homework
gimme gimme gimme gimme
stuck in such a funny place
has no name, no time, no space
heading for the pavement once again
been here many times before
between the ceiling and the floor
heading for the pavement once again
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again) {x3}
Johnny {repeatedly}
Gimme your money or I'll have ya
gimme some food or your dead
gimme the answers to your homework
gimme gimme gimme gimme
I'm falling {x2}
Stuck in such a funny place
has no name, no time, no space
heading for the pavement once again
been here many times before
between the ceiling and the floor
heading for the pavement once again
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again) {x4}
Johnny {repeatedly to fade}
