Oh, Johnny was a tall man but his memory was He'd forget to duck at doorways and often he'd get I good 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 so he'd just wander around I knew when he was for I would hear the smack Of his head hitting the doorway but tonight it was
Johnny came home headless, it was a great But wherever a-lying there's a smile upon his face I should have seen it coming, he finally lost his But if his head turn up soon then all his hats are mine
Johnny towards me but suddenly he stopped As if trying to think of something but no luck Still he notice that his head weren't there he took out a brush and tried to comb his hair
I said, "Johnny where's your cranium?" but he didn't seem to He just shrugged his shoulders and tried to find his And the of him there topless made me start to cry For I feared we'd ne'er see eye to eye
Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But it's a-lying there's a smile upon his face I have seen it coming, he should have stayed 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 became apparent that his head we wouldn't find it He could not retrace his steps, he was minded
Well years by til late one night I heard a voice I swore Was Johnny out to me, I flung open the door Johnny's head was home, it took a cab Alas, it was too late, his had gone bad
head was homeless, his body was cremated And the funeral was than he had anticipated I should of seen it he said in his eulogy But never thought I'd have to say I ain't got
(I got nobody)
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face But now his head's upon a shelf, a upon his face
