Johnny - 77 Bombay Street

Johnny is hiding in the bushes in the dirt with his new blue shoes

Scared of going home

His daddy said he’s gonna beat him so he waits until he’s sleeping

On a bed of stone

When Johnny sings everything is changing colors

And the sorrow’s getting smaller

And it’s warm around your soul

When Johnny smiles all the angels must get jealous

Cause he’s got the looks of Elvis

And he just makes you feel fine

Johnny often stays with Mary, Mary isn’t really caring

And has hardly time

She didn’t notice Johnny’s missing then one day the cops came knocking

On her wooden door

When Johnny sings everything is changing colors

And the sorrow’s getting smaller

And it’s warm around your soul

When Johnny smiles all the angels must get jealous

Cause he’s got the looks of Elvis

And he just makes you feel fine

And Mary’s struggling on her own, nothing’s right and nothing’s wrong

She was far too young and feeling left alone

When they were knocking on her door, tears were falling on the floor

A little bird was flying to another shore

When Johnny sings everything is changing colors

And the sorrow’s getting smaller

And it’s warm around your soul

When Johnny smiles all the angels must get jealous

Cause he’s got the looks of Elvis

And he just makes you feel fine

When Johnny sings, when he smiles

When Johnny sings, and when he smiles
