Oh, was a tall man but his memory was short 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
Johnny liked to go out on the town He'd forget where he'd be going so he'd just around I knew when he was 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 smile his face I have seen it coming, he finally lost his mind But if his head don't turn up then all his hats are mine

Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But now his head's upon a shelf, a upon his face But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
