Ooh, Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming
Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan
He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny
Ah, suddenly they had a band

Hey Johnny´s Band
He sure knew how to work up a crowd
The sound that they made put the rest in the shade
And the word soon got around

They played every dance hall in the city
Wrote themselves a cool forty-five
With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
Oh man it was good to be alive
Hail Johnny´s Band
Hear them on the radio
Smash after smash now they´re rolling in the cash
Whatever they touch turns to gold

Poor old Benny went down with the hard stuff
And Pete joined a cult in LA
Johnny and Bill started going downhill

And the crowds began melting away

Yeah, but hey, it´s Johnny´s Band
Playing Saturday nights at The Crown
The beards may be long and the money´s long gone
It´s a wonder that they´re still around

But hey, it´s Johnny´s Band
Playing all those wonderful songs
Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound
And here we are singing along
