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 just around I knew when he was back for I would the smack Of his head hitting the doorway but it was alack
came home headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever it's a-lying there's a smile upon his I should have seen it coming, he finally his mind But if his head don't turn up soon all his hats are mine
Johnny came me but suddenly he stopped As if trying to think of something but no luck Still he didn't notice his head weren't there 'Til he out a brush and tried to comb his hair
I said, "Johnny where's cranium?" but he didn't seem to know He just shrugged his and tried to find his nose And the sight of him topless made me start to cry For I we'd ne'er again see eye to eye
Johnny came home headless, it was a disgrace But it's a-lying there's a smile upon his face I should have it coming, he should have stayed in bed For now I he'll spend his life just trying to get ahead
Refusing to believe he had split for good His half and me searched the neighbourhood It soon became apparent that his head we find it He could not retrace his steps, he was absent
Well years went by til late one night I 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
Johnny's head was homeless, his body was And the funeral was than he had anticipated I should of seen it coming he in his eulogy But never thought I'd have to say I 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 head's a shelf, a smile upon his face
