The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, there is time for tears
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, you won't make it any better
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, you might well make it worse
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, I advise you to forget her
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, ooh
You're not the first though it hurts, Johnny Johnny, ooh...
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, what are you, twenty-one?
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, why don't you give it a rest
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, the world is a million
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, there can be no contes
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, ooh
Life's not complete till your heart's missed a beat
And you'll never make it up, or turn back the clock
No, you won't, no, you won't
No, you won't, no, you won't
Johnny, Johnny, Ooh
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, she is a person too
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, she has her own will
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, why don't you join the foreign legion
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, you're still in love with Hayley Mills
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, ooh
Life's not complete till your heart's missed a beat
And you'll never make it up, or turn back the clock
No, you won't, no you won't
No, you won't, no you won't
Johnny, Johnny, ooh
Johnny, Johnny, ooh
