Lyrics
Johnny
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.
He met her in a bar, she liked his fancy car
He looked into her jugs and knew right then he wanted her
Took her to the railroad tracks and from there was no turning back
(chorus)
Oh Johnny, say it ain't so, Johnny (x4)
He got up the next day told his friends he'd been laid
Hurry off to his high school to take some tests and get some grades
Itchin', scratchin all day long, something here is very wrong
(chorus)
The important thing that Johnny didn't see
was that behind those pretty eyes was a venereal disease
He looked into her eyes and fell into the trap
Thought he'd gotten loving but she'd given him the clap
He went to see the doctor, he told him, "son you're fucked"
You didn't wear no Jimmy hat and now your goose is really cooked
Thought you'd get by without cover, got fucked over by your lover
(chorus)
