The Boy Looked at Johnny Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The boy looked at Johnny
And said "My word, that was fun"
Oh, when he did it with his hat on
And a saddle and a gun
We're in slow motion, eating breakfast
At the side view hotel
Oh, sipping down wine
Everything's going so well

[Chorus]
(Oh)
And New York City's very pretty in the night time
But don't you miss Soho?
Where everybody goes
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
And the boy looked at Johnny
He said, "Don't you know who I think I am?"
He said, "I did it once before"
Now that I tried all I can, Lord Jesus
Oh, no, no, no, no, no (No)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Oh, I said, "No, no, no, no, no" (No, no)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
(Oh)
And New York City's very pretty in the night time
Oh, don't you miss Soho?
Where everybody goes
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
(Oh)
Yes, New York City's very pretty in the night time
Oh, don't you miss Soho?
Where everybody goes
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-de-di, la-de-di, da-diddy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
