Oh, Johnny was a tall man but his was short He'd forget to duck at doorways and often get hurt I took care of him for he had no family Actually he did, but he forgot who be
Johnny often liked to go out on the He'd forget he'd be going so he'd just wander around I when he was back for I would hear the smack Of his head hitting the doorway but tonight it was
Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever it's a-lying there's a upon his face I should seen it coming, he finally lost his mind But if his head don't up soon then all his hats are mine
Johnny came towards me but he stopped As if trying to of something but having no luck Still he didn't notice his head weren't there 'Til he took out a brush and tried to his hair
I said, "Johnny where's your cranium?" but he didn't to know 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 again see eye to eye
Johnny came home headless, it was a great But wherever it's a-lying a smile upon his face I have seen it coming, he should have stayed in bed For now I fear he'll spend his life trying to get ahead
Refusing to that he had split for good His lower and me searched the neighbourhood It soon became apparent that his we wouldn't find it He not retrace his steps, he was absent 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 a taxi cab Alas, it was too late, his had gone bad
head was homeless, his body was cremated And the funeral was harder than he had 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 came home headless, it was a disgrace But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
