Oh, Johnny was a tall man but his was short He'd forget to duck at doorways and he'd get hurt I took good care of him for he had no Actually he did, but he who they be
Johnny often to go out on the town He'd forget where he'd be going so he'd wander around I knew when he was back for I would the smack Of his hitting the doorway but tonight it was alack
Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever it's a-lying a smile upon his face I should have it coming, he finally lost his mind But if his don't turn up soon then all his hats are mine
Johnny came towards me but he stopped As if to think of something but having no luck Still he didn't notice 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 seem to know He just shrugged his shoulders and to find his nose And the of him there topless made me start to cry For I feared we'd again see eye to eye
Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever a-lying there's a smile upon his face I should seen it coming, he should have stayed in bed For now I he'll spend his life just trying to get ahead
to believe that he had split for good His lower and me searched the neighbourhood It soon became apparent that his head we wouldn't it He could not retrace his steps, he was absent
years went by til late one night I heard a voice I swore Was Johnny calling out to me, I open the door Johnny's head was home, it took a cab Alas, it was too late, his had gone bad
Johnny's was homeless, his body was cremated And the funeral was than he had anticipated I should of it coming he said in his eulogy But never 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 upon his But now his head's upon a shelf, a smile upon his
