Oh, Johnny was a man but his memory was short He'd forget to duck at doorways and often he'd get I took care of him for he had no family he did, but he forgot who they be
Johnny often to go out on the town He'd forget where he'd be going so he'd just wander I knew when he was for I would hear the smack Of his hitting the doorway but tonight it was alack
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever it's a-lying there's a smile upon his I should seen it coming, he finally lost his mind But if his head don't turn up soon all his hats are mine
came towards me but suddenly he stopped As if trying to think of something but no luck Still he didn't notice that his head weren't he took out a brush and tried to comb his hair
I said, "Johnny your cranium?" but he didn't seem to know He shrugged his shoulders and tried to find his nose And the sight of him there made me start to cry For I feared we'd again 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 spend his life just trying to get
to believe that he had split for good His lower half and me searched the It soon became that his head we wouldn't find it He could not retrace his steps, he was 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 head was home, it took a cab Alas, it was too late, his body had bad
head was homeless, his body was cremated And the funeral was harder he had anticipated I should of seen it coming he said in his But never thought I'd have to say I got no-body
(I got nobody)
came 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 upon his face
