This is a parody of the song “Who’s Johnny” by El DeBarge. The song is about TV announcer Ed McMahon who was the announcer during the Johnny Carson era of The Tonight Show. McMahon would always announce Johnny Carson at the beginning of the show with a hearty “Heeeeeere’s Johnny!”

[Intro]
Ow!
[Verse 1]
There he goes, he drives me crazy
When he says "Hee-eere's Johnny!"
That's his job, it's so amazing
All he says is "Hee-eere's Johnny!"
[Pre-Chorus]
I never miss a moment when he's on the tube
His being there has made my life worth living
The chills run down my spine
Each time he says that line
[Chorus]
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and laughs in his special way
"Johnny," he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and second fiddle is his game
Ed McMahon's his name, alright
Whoa whoa whoa yeah
[Verse 2]
Dressed so fine, he's such a cool dude
Hear him say "Hee-eere's Johnny!"
Watch him selling beer and dog food
Hear him say "Hee-eere's Johnny!"
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a letter from him just the other day
He said, "You may already be a winner"
A trouper to the end
A Clydesdale's best friend
[Chorus]
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and laughs in his special way
"Johnny," he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and that's the way he gets his pay
What a living
(Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny!) Whoa oh oh no
(Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny!) No no no no no no, I don't believe it
(Here's Johnny!) he says, and every time it's just the same
Ed McMahon's his name
[Bridge]
A very special guy, alright
He's on every night
Can't change the channel
When he's sitting on the panel
(Hee-eere's Johnny!)
[Verse 3]
There he goes, he gives me goose bumps
When he says "Hey oh! Hey hey hey oh!"
[Chorus]
"Here's Johnny!" he says, and laughs in his special way
"...Johnny!" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny!" he says, that seems to be his claim to fame
Ed McMahon's his name
[Outro]
(Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny!
Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny!
Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny! Here's Johnny!)
Heeeeeere- (Here's Johnny!)
