Song Lyrics
Wrote themselves a cool forty-five, he sure knew how to work up a crowd Band, the beards may be long and the money s long gone
And here we are singing along, playing all those wonderful songs
Oh man it was good to be alive, the beards may be long and the money s long gone
And the crowds began melting away, smash after smash now they re rolling in the cash
Smash after smash now they re rolling in the cash, suddenly they had a band
Hear them on the radio, it s johnny s band
And here we are singing along, oh man it was good to be alive
they played every dance hall in the city
He sure knew how to work up a crowd, and here we are singing along
Benny went down with the hard stuff, with a bullet it shot to the top of the pops Band, told bill the bass and soon they had a plan
Whatever they touch turns to gold, the beards may be long and the money s long gone
Playing saturday nights at the crown, and the word soon got around, johnny and bill started going downhill
wrote themselves a cool forty-five
He passed it on to pete and crazy benny, making the rounds with that old fashioned sound Purple, hear them on the radio
he passed it on to pete and crazy benny
and the crowds began melting away
And the word soon got around, told bill the bass and soon they had a plan
playing all those wonderful songs
the beards may be long and the money s long gone
it s a wonder that they re still around
and pete joined a cult in la
and the word soon got around
With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops, with a bullet it shot to the top of the pops, with a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
And pete joined a cult in la, johnny jones woke up one day from dreaming Johnny's, suddenly they had a band
Told bill the bass and soon they had a plan, suddenly they had a band, and pete joined a cult in la
Playing all those wonderful songs, he sure knew how to work up a crowd Johnny's, they played every dance hall in the city
He passed it on to pete and crazy benny, the sound that they made put the rest in the shade Johnny's, johnny and bill started going downhill
It s a wonder that they re still around, oh man it was good to be alive, told bill the bass and soon they had a plan
And the word soon got around, with a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
Whatever they touch turns to gold, playing all those wonderful songs, hear them on the radio
Hear them on the radio, hear them on the radio
Told bill the bass and soon they had a plan, and pete joined a cult in la, suddenly they had a band
they played every dance hall in the city
oh man it was good to be alive
Hail johnny s band, with a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
johnny and bill started going downhill
