Johnny Don't Do It

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it



Johnny was an angel, an angel dressed in black

He used to hang around the guys down at the local track

He tried so hard to join them

But they always turned him back



Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)

Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)



He was only seventeen, just got out of school

He stole a bike from Joe's garage to prove that he was cool

He didn't know that the brakes were worn

And fate can be so cruel



Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)

Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)



Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it



Well, Johnny went a riding

With his girlfriend on the back seat

Looking for some action

And they found it down a back street

Suddenly a truck pulled out

He tried to step on the brake



Johnny don't do it (Here is a news flash)

Johnny don't do it

(Today, Johnny Kowalski, also known as Johnny Angel)

Johnny don't do it

(And his young fiance Francine, were tragically killed)

Johnny don't do it (In a cycle accident)

Don't do it, don't do it (Any witnesses please contact)

Don't do it, don't do it (The police at Precinct 29)



Now Johnny's with the angels, the angels in the sky

I wonder if he thinks of us as he goes riding by

If only had listened, oh, the number of times we tried

To tell him



Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)

Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)

Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)

Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)



Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it



(Repeat)
