John James
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.
Oh, John James went down to London town
He want to be a member if him can
But I know what I know-
He never wore them tight shirt before
He was sitting in a mansion smoking a big cigar
He was sitting in a mansion smoking a big cigar
But I know what I know, he never wore them tight shirt before
All I want sir just put me among some girls
He said, all I want sir just, put me among some girls
But I know what I know, he never wore them tight shirt before
Johnny is the coolest one
Johnny is the coolest
But he is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
