Oh, Johnny was a man but his memory was short He'd to duck at doorways and often he'd get hurt I took care of him for he had no family Actually he did, but he who they be
often liked to go out on the town He'd forget where he'd be going so he'd wander around I knew he was back for I would hear the smack Of his head hitting the but tonight it was alack
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever it's a-lying there's a upon his face I should have it coming, he finally lost his mind But if his head turn up soon then all his hats are mine
Johnny towards me but suddenly he stopped As if to think of something but having no luck he didn't notice that his head weren't there 'Til he took out a brush and to comb his hair
I said, "Johnny where's your cranium?" but he didn't seem to He just his shoulders and tried to find his nose And the of him there topless made me start to cry For I feared we'd ne'er see eye to eye
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever it's a-lying a smile upon his face I should have seen it coming, he should have in bed For now I fear he'll his life just trying to get ahead
to believe that he had split for good His half and me searched the neighbourhood It soon became that his head we wouldn't find it He not retrace his steps, he was absent minded
Well years went by til late one night I heard a voice I Was Johnny calling out to me, I open the door Johnny's was home, it took a taxi cab Alas, it was too late, his body had bad
Johnny's head was homeless, his was cremated And the funeral was than he had anticipated I should of it coming he said in his eulogy But thought I'd have to say I ain't got no-body
(I got nobody)
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But now his head's upon a shelf, a smile his face But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
