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

 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

 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
