Johnny Thunder lives on water, feeds on lightning
Johnny Thunder don't need no one, don't want money
And all the people of the town

Johnny Thunder speaks for no one, goes on fighting

[Chorus]
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Thunder and lightning
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Thunder and lightning

[Chorus]
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Thunder and lightning
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba
Thunder and lightning
