Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say

Oh yeah the boy can play.
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day.”

Doomed to play the villian's part,
I was the baddest Johnny in the apple cart,
My blood was blacker than the chambers of a dead nun's heart.”

A gardener like that one, no one can replace. And I've been knocking, but no one answers.

Oh, and I've been calling
Oh, "Hey, Hey, Johnny"
"Can't you come out to play?"”

“She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying Johnnys guitar at the broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble, he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kissGoing bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye Johnny
Bye, bye Johnny B. Goode”
