Johnny Songtext
von Jim Sullivan

See the people run and gather
How something high has caught their eye
Frightened with the sound of something, the speaker stands to wave and cry
Hey says, "Hear ye! Hear ye! Now something dreadful has occurred
Waste no time to heed my warning
Little Johnny thinks he is a bird
"Johnny come down come down from the sky
Johnny come down you′re flyin too high
Johnny yells from lofty posture
Sitting high above the ground
"I won't drink your muddy water
You try your best and I won′t come down"
'Cause I can see your picture painted
And true it's part of life I′m sure


And that don′t mean I've got to like it
And when the air is clean and pure
"Johnny come down come down from the sky
Johnny come down you′re flyin too high
"Johnny tell us tell us, will you?
Just what secret have you found?
Do you really know the answer,
How to sail above the ground?"
"Half is part of all an answer
And it's better sure than none at all
And I can′t love no hand that strikes me
If I shot him down then I'd surely fall
"Johnny come down come down from the sky.
Johnny come down you′re flyin too high
