Johnny

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
He says, “hear ye, hear ye, faithful poppets
Now something dreadful has occurred
And ye waste no time, ye heed my warning:
Little Johnny thinks he is a bird!”

[Chorus]
Johnny, come down, come down from the sky
Johnny, come down, you’re flying too high

[Verse 3]
Johnny yells full of the posture
Sailing high above the ground
“I won’t drink your muddy water
You’ll try your best and I won’t come down"

[Verse 4]
"'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.”

[Chorus]
Johnny, come down, come down from the sky
Johnny, come down, you’re flying too high

[Verse 5]
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?

[Verse 6]
'Cause 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, I’d surely fall

[Chorus]
Johnny, come down, come down from the sky
Johnny, come down, you’re flying too high
