| I had one cup of coffee and a cigarette
|
| Then I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wet
|
| If I was gonna get movin', now was the time
|
| So I packed up my bags and my gretsch '59
|
| It’s a tough life, love
|
| But when push comes to shove
|
| It’s the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool
|
| Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
|
| Don’t let the big boys grind you down
|
| Johnny johnny, johnny kool
|
| He was a rebel that broke all the rules
|
| Everyone can’t stop talkin' about
|
| The legend of johnny kool
|
| It was darker than black, not a star in the sky
|
| So I revved on the engine and let that mercury fly
|
| With the wind blowin' by at a 105
|
| It gave me a thrill just bein' alive
|
| It’s a tough life, love
|
| But when push comes to shove
|
| It’s the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool
|
| Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
|
| Don’t let the big boys grind you down
|
| Johnny johnny, johnny kool
|
| He was a rebel that broke all the rules
|
| Everyone can’t stop talkin' about
|
| The legend of johnny kool
|
| Rumor had it now this cat had it all
|
| He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hall
|
| Some guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stage
|
| And I was rockin' with a guy who was twice my age
|
| It’s a tough life, love
|
| But when push comes to shove
|
| It’s the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool
|
| Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
|
| Don’t let the big boys grind you down
|
| Johnny johnny, johnny kool
|
| He was a rebel that broke all the rules
|
| Everyone can’t stop talkin' about
|
| The legend of johnny kool |
