Johnny Was a Good Boy

The boy next door you've known for years
Has up and made the headlines
The front page read he lost his head
There'd be nothing like this in a long time
No no now child they must be wrong
All his neighbours say
Johnny was a good boy
Did what he should boy
Just wouldn't act that way
Yes they say he was everybody's friend
But now they put him away and say he just may do it again
They interviewed the folks he knew
For some dumb reason why (Johnny was a good boy)
Asked his mom where she went wrong
She'll say god knows I've tried (Johnny was a good boy)
Good plain boy would just go bad one day
He said he couldn't help himself
But police suspect foul play
So now they put him away they say he's not a normal man
You never can tell, but well they say he may do it again
Animals all loved him
And he had a way with kids
It was quite a shock to them
When they found out what he did
So now they put him away they say he's not a normal man
You never can tell, but well they say he may do it again
