Incident On 57th Street
Spanish johnny drove in from the underworld last night with bruised arms and broken rhythm and a beat-up old buick but dressed just like dynamite,
He tried sellin his heart to the hard girls over on easy street,
But they said, johnny, it falls apart so easy and you know hearts these days are cheap.
And the pimps swung their axes and said, johnny, youre a cheater.
Well, the pimps swung their axes and said, johnny, youre a liar.
And from out of the shadows cam e a young girls voice, said: johnny dont cry.
Puerto rican jane, oh wont you tell me whats your name.
I want to drive you down to the other side of town where paradise aint so crowded and therell be action goin down on shanty lane tonight
All the golden heeled fairies in a real bitch-fight pull thirty-eights and kiss their girls goodnight.
Goodnight, its alright, jane
Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame,
We may find it out on the street tonight, baby,
Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe.
Well, like a cool romeo he made his moves, oh she looked so fine
Like a late juliet she knew shed never be true but then she really didnt mind,
Upstairs a band was playin and the singer was singin something about going home,
She whispered, spanish johnny, you can leave me tonight, but just dont leave me alone.
And johnny cried, puerto rican jane, word is down the cops have found the vein.
Them bare foot boys left their homes for the woods
Them little barefoot street boys, they said their homes aint no good,
They left the corners, threw away their switchblade knives and kissed each other goodbye.
Johnny was sittin on the fire escape watchin the kids playin down the
Street,
He called down, hey little heroes, summers long but I guess it aint very sweet around here anymore,
Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat, johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on,
And the sister prays for lost souls then breaks down in the chapel after everyones gone.
Jane moves over to share her pillow but opens her eyes to see johnny up and putting his clothes on,
She says, those romantic young boys, all they ever want to do is fight,
Those romantic young boys, theyre callin through the window:
Hey, spanish johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight?
And johnny whispered, goodnight, its all tight jane,
Ill meet you tomorrow night on lovers lane
We may find it out on the street tonight now baby
Or we may walk until the daylight, baby.
Goodnight, its alright jane, Im gonna meet you tomorrow night on lovers lane,
We can find it out on the street tonight, baby,
Or we may walk until its daylight, maybe.

Little Johnny Hooker
Oh, Im gonna tell you a story bout a little boy.
Oh, a sad little boy.
Im talkin bout little johnny hooker.
Little johnny hooker was a sissy on the street all his life --
All his natural born life.
Until his daddy took him aside and said,
Son, now heres your switchblade knife boy.
He said get out in the street boy,
Cut yourself some meat boy.
Get out on your own side of the road,
And lighten my load.
Johnny made a mistake and took his knife down to school one day.
Hey, yeah, yeah.
And, when the bell rang for lunch.
Freddie miller went and got in johnnys way boy.
He took his knife from his pocket, pushed a button on the side.
When he seen the queen steel,
You ought to seen the light in freddys eyes.
Oh, yeah ...
Little johnny hooker learned his lesson from the knife now you see,
(yes he did.)
Because for what he done to fred he spent some time in a penitentiary.
It was a day in the courtroom, exhibit letter a.
When the jury seen the knife they put little johnnys ass away.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Talkin bout jooohhhnnny.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Oh, little johnny boy.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Talkin bout jooohhhnnny.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Oh, little johnny boy.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
He was a young boy,
Hes thinkin the rest of his life,
For what he done with the knife.
Talkin bout jooohhhnnny.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Jooohhhnnny.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.
Little johnny hooker, he aint a bad looker, he aint a bad man, he aint.

Johnny B. Goode
Deep down in louisianna
Close to new orleans,
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens,
There stand a country cabin
Made of clay and wood,
Where lives a young country boy
Named johnny b.goode,
He never ever learned
To read or write a book so well,
But he could play his guitar
Just like a-ringing a bell.
Go go, go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Aah johnny b.goode!
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack,
Sit beneath the trees
By the railroad track.
Oh sitting and a-playing
In the shade,
Drumming to the rhythm
That the drivers made.
People passing by
Used to stop and say:
My oh my,
That country boy can play.
Go go, go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Aah johnny b.goode!
Well his mama told him:
Someday you will be a man.
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band.
Many people coming
From miles around,
To hear you play your music
Till the sun goes down.
Maybe some day
Your name will be in light,
Saying: johnny
B. goode tonight!
Go go, go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Go johnny go go go!
Aah johnny b.goode!

Johnny, oh johnny,
Where do you roam?
Well always remain here,
So dont leave us alone.
Some say they knew him,
And some just left him alone.
Johnny, oh johnny,
Where do you roam?
Johnny, johnny, johnny!

To sing a worried song.

Me & Johnny
Lookin' back i'd say we broke a few rules
Left one or two hearts in a ruin
Spent all that precious time doin'
Things we figured that presley might have done
Stole a few cars, never got caught
Started some fights in the scrimmage
We got caught up in the image
Of playing young rebels by the handbook
Looking back i guess we had some attitude
We were gonna be hard and tough
Me & johnny
We're gonna play tonight
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna shine
Look in the mirror watch our faces change
We were gonna be mccartney clones
We skipped school to see the rolling stones
And sang their songs on the train on our way home
We were gonna be like all of them
Uncompromising to the very end
Live for girls, guitars and glory
And someday they'd write our story
Sometimes i think that they clapped in sympathy
But we were gonna be hard and tough
Me & johnny
We're gonna play tonight
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Me & johnny
We may get blood on our face
We're gonna have our place
In the sun
Johnny's still living, back in australia
I hear he's got himself a wife and kids
And i'm still chasing whatever it is
That put me out here on the road in the first place
I think of times, that i cursed out loud
Wishin' i was still runnin' with the same old crowd
Sometimes it can make you cry
Just watching the years roll by
Me & johnny
We're gonna play tonight
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna have fun tonight

We may get blood on our face
We're gonna have our place

Johnny thunder lives on water, feeds on lightning.
Johnny thunder dont need no one, dont want money.
And all the people of the town,
They cant get through to johnny, they will never, ever break him down.
Johnny thunder speaks for no one, goes on fighting.
And sweet helena in bed[? ] prays for johnny.
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba,

Thunder and lightning.
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba,
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba,

Though everybody tried their best,
Old johnny vowed that he would never, ever end up like the rest.
Johnny thunder rides the highway, moves like lightning.
But sweet helena just says, God bless johnny.

Johnny went to Hollywood
Johnny went to Hollywood
Said he’s gonna be a star
Things didn’t turn out so good
Johnny’s livin’ in his car
You shoulda seen him at the prom back in high school
You woulda bet he’s gonna be a star
Dancin’ with the queen with his tux and his crown on
Now Johnny’s livin’ in his car
Poor Johnny poor Johnny
He played Bo Decker when the senior class did “Bus Stop”
He had the junior girls all in a rage
Lookin’ like James Dean in a leather coat and t-shirt
You’da sworn that Johnny was born for the stage
Go Johnny! Go Johnny!
Johnny went to Hollywood
Said he’s gonna be a star
Things didn’t turn out so good
Johnny’s livin’ in his car
Poor Johnny, poor Johnny
He nearly got himself a diet Coke commercial
But they said he didn’t fit the part
Now he plays a waiter in a small café downtown
The way he says, “What will you have? ” is such an art!
Go Johnny! Go Johnny!
Johnny went to Hollywood
Said he’s gonna be a star
Things didn’t turn out so good
Johnny’s livin’ in his car

Johnny Porter
(bobby ray appleberry/william cuomo)
Johnny porter was the oldest in his family
And I remember he was almost twenty one
Yknow I cant quite explain the situation
But he broke into his fathers truck and stole a gun
Mother running down the highway screaming
Johnny its too bad, oh its too and its bad
And its too bad
Well, his father wonders where he got the money
And he wonders if he got it right or wrong
Then johnny killed a man in pensacola, florida
And he caught a freight train and and took off on the run
Well, run, johnny, run
Theyre rolling right behind you
Run, johnny, run
You know theyre gonna find you
You come out late at night, cause youre running for your life
Hum, johnny porter
Johnny porter
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, its a shame the way you make your mother worry
And its hurts inside to sit and watch her cry
And it will be a long time before she knows the answer
But it wont be long before she will see ya die
Well, I was standing in my front door early this morning
So sad, when I heard my name was said
Johnny porter was no good than anybody
But I hate to see him throw his life away
Now, run, johnny, run
Theyre rolling right behind you
Run, johnny, run
You know theyre gonna find you
You come out late at night, cause youre running for your life
Well, johnny porter, johnny porter
Found him holed up in some dark and dirty building
Heard his mother begging, please, let johnny go!
Thats when john fired his pistol
As a warning and he said,
I was born to die by the gun
I was born to die by the gun

Hide Your Heart
Johnny saw her riding on a street car named desire, his fate was sealed
She could see him coming like a hundred other liars, it was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town, tito, he was king of the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown, johnny better run, better run
Chorus:
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, cause theres trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, cause youre playing with fire
The ride was over but the story doesnt end, he took her heart
She looked him in the eye and said they couldnt meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that rosas messin with someone, it was on the street
Tito looked for johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run
Chorus
Johnnys holdin rosa on a rooftop in the night, as time stood still
They couldnt hear him coming til he had them both in sight
You could feel a chill
A shot ran out like thunder and the blood was on her hands, with nothing won
When someone lies dying, lovers finally understand

Blaze Of Glory
Johnny was a young boy
With nothing much except a certain kind of look in his eye
He was discovered one day - you see he had a certain kind of appeal
For a certain kind of guy
Who gave him some advice on what to wear
And sent him out to make the young girls cry
And all the young boys whod just been dumb and restless
Now they could identify
So tell me wholl take the blame
For the way things turned out
Well six long months passed and johnny was the biggest thing alive
And we loved johnny and we owned johnny
And no one knew how johnny felt inside
And johnny was so beautiful, he was like a god
And we all went along for the ride
And the ride started to go too fast
And johnny just conveniently died
And he went up in flames
He did what he had to do
And they say its a tragic story
He just wasnt there one day
But he went out in a blaze of glory
And you and I - you and I just fade away
Well nowadays theres a lot of guys like johnny
They got it all worked out - like working 9 to 5
But theyre all just cartoons - all think theyre superman
But they cant even fly
And they say that johnnys ghost walks round in memphis
When the moon is full and high
And I wonder if he sees these jokers
And I wonder if he laughs or if he cries
Now hes an angel in flames
But what about you and me
And they say its a tragic story
He just wasnt there one day
But he went out in a blaze of glory
And you and I - you and I just fade away

Jaw, Knee, Music
Johnny has a problem
Johnny is out of control
He had a TV party
With the kids in the black hole
Stealing people's mail
And lynching the landlord
Things to do when angry, young and bored
Johnny was only a lad
Johnny hates the scene
First he hit an old man
Then he hit and run Pauline
The record player spinning the best times
I never had
So why do my old records make me sad?
Cause they're so bad
And no one seems to understand
The glory of guitar
When out of tune
The off timing
The singers who can't sing
The beauty of flaw
He's a teenage vegetable
This is the last resort
He's got PCP in his veins
He lives inside a court
Johnny is a punk rocker
Johnny is he queer?
Johnny needed two bags
And a car to commandeer
Johnny wasn't liked much
But he had a lot of friends
Waits on stage
Eating ludes
A mindless brainwashed pig
Johnny was a good man
Till the day that he got shot
He had a jacked up chevy
That could blow you off the spot
Johnny always needs
More than he takes
Forgets a couple chords
Forgets a couple breaks
Johnny says he's bound
By only six strings to this world
Johnny questions sellout bands
And Johnny pux0rs ritalin
And Johnny is an angry amputee

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
Pop goes the world, by men without hats
Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass.
Name of the band is the human race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.
Jenny played keyboard, johnny played drums,
Called little baby and a big bonhomme
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.
It goes something like this: (p p p pop)
Johnny and jenny had a crazy dream,
See their pictures in a magazine.
Every little boy needs a girl.
Pop goes the world.
Jenny and johnny getting smart (it seems)
Made more money on a movie screen.
Every little nest needs a bird.

Everybody here is a friend of mine.

Six seven eight and nine is ten,
Send al gunn to see the doctor (ben)
Say what planet are we on? the third!
Pop goes the world.
And every time I wonder where the world went wrong,
End up lying on my face going ringy dingy ding dong
And every time I wonder if the world is right,
End up in some disco dancin all night & day.
Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass,
Name of the band is the human race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.
Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass,
Aint nobody couldnt take their place.
Everybody tell me have you heard? pop goes the world.....
