[00:35.770]Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming
[00:40.310]Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan
[00:43.970]He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny
[00:48.110]Ah, suddenly they had a band
[00:54.470]Hey Johnny's Band
[00:58.960]He sure knew how to work up a crowd
[01:02.930]The sound that they made put the rest in the shade
[01:06.860]And the word soon got around
[01:17.620]They played every dance hall in the city
[01:21.540]Wrote themselves a cool forty-five
[01:25.480]With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
[01:29.900]Oh man it was good to be alive
[01:34.630]Hail Johnny's Band
[01:40.330]Hear them on the radio
[01:44.530]Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash
[01:48.510]Whatever they touch turns to gold
[02:36.050]Benny went down with the hard stuff
[02:40.260]And Pete joined a cult in LA
[02:44.450]Johnny and Bill started going downhill
[02:48.550]And the crowds began melting away
[02:54.440]But hey, it's Johnny's Band
[02:58.760]Playing Saturday nights at The Crown
[03:03.030]The beards may be long and the money's long gone
[03:07.210]It's a wonder that they're still around
[03:11.440]But hey, it's Johnny's Band
[03:15.380]Playing all those wonderful songs
[03:19.570]Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound
[03:23.740]And here we are singing along
[03:26.880]
