Oh, was a tall man but his memory was short He'd to duck at doorways and often he'd get hurt I took 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 going so he'd wander around I knew when he was back for I hear the smack Of his hitting the doorway but tonight it was alack
Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever a-lying there's a smile upon his face I should have seen it coming, he lost his mind But if his head don't turn up then all his hats are mine
Johnny came towards me but suddenly he As if to think of something but having no luck Still he didn't notice 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 to know He just shrugged his shoulders and tried to find his And the sight of him there topless me start to cry For I feared we'd ne'er see eye to eye
Johnny came home headless, it was a great But wherever it's a-lying there's a 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 lower and me searched the neighbourhood It soon apparent 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 calling out to me, I flung open the door Johnny's head was home, it took a cab Alas, it was too late, his body had bad
Johnny's head was homeless, his was cremated And the was harder than he had anticipated I of seen it coming he said in his eulogy But never thought I'd have to say I ain't got
(I got nobody)
Johnny came headless, it was a great disgrace But now his head's upon a shelf, a smile upon his But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
