Johnny's New Hair

from Life Our Own Way by David Heatley

/

lyrics

Johnny you got that hairstyle and it’s appalling
Now tonight’s the night and the sights are calling
Johnny you hopped that turnstile without warning
Now the lights are bright like it was still morning

Went to the barber on an army dare
(Hey! Johnny-ho, Johnny-hey!)
Barber was drunk but you didn’t much care
(Write it down boy, write it down boy)

Maybe that’s because you were drunk as well
(Hey! Johnny-ho, Johnny-hey!)
Now you don’t look too much like yourself
(Write it down boy, put it in that book of yours)

Johnny you got that hairstyle and it’s appalling
Now tonight’s the night and the sights are calling
Johnny you hopped that turnstile without warning
Now the lights are bright like it was still morning

Johnny you got just one more day
(Hey! Johnny-ho, Johnny-hey!)
Find a girl who wants to carry you away
(Write it down boy, write it down boy)

Might as well take her and put her in a song
(Hey! Johnny-ho, Johnny-hey!)
She’s gonna miss you when you’re gone
(Write it down boy, put it in that book of yours)

Johnny you got that hairstyle and it’s appalling
Now tonight’s the night and the sights are calling
Johnny you hopped that turnstile without warning
Now the lights are bright like it was still morning
