Lyrics
Okay Get ready This is a ballad of Johnny Cool
Yes he was singing rough rockin Drivin a smooth Rolls Bought a big house and Sold his new soul He had a good time Blowing his gold Rock and roll Johnny Rock and roll Johnny Cool
Well he made a right move and he met the right friend Hit the right road and turned a right bend He broke all the rules you just can't mend Rock and roll Johnny Rock and roll Johnny Cool
Johnny Cool ran drank fifty slugs of whisky a day Johnny Cool was fast and loose Johnny Cool was always up on top of the world Flying like a rockin goose Fly, Johnny‚ fly You ever see a goose fly?
Johnny cool got busted He trusted a fool So Johnny Cool went on the run Johnny Cool could do just what he wanted to do Johnny Cool could carry a gun (bad news)
You know he made a wrong move and he met the wrong friend He hit the wrong road‚ turned the wrong bend Picked up that gun and blew out his brains Rock and roll Johnny Rock and roll Johnny cool Rock and roll Johnny Rock and roll Johnny Cool Rock and roll Johnny Rock and roll Johnny Cool
