1
Have a seat
2
And I'll tell you a tale
3
Wasn't that long ago
4
About a guy who turned out to be a cheater
5
Got the heater, so the story goes
6
He tried to play on two friends
7
Thinkin' that they'd never know
8
They say he got caught in a trap
9
And it snapped
10
He's not around anymore
11
CHORUS:
12
Poor Johnny!
13
Came home, looking cool one day
14
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
15
Once from the left
16
Then from the right
17
They took him down
18
Late that night
19
Now everyone in town
20
Knew he'd always played the rounds
21
But not a word was said
22
All the money and the clothes
23
And the cars that he drove
24
Just kept his ego fed
25
To his friends, he was king
26
'Cause he thought of everything
27
Except his number one
28
She had the kids and the house
29
While he was always out
30
Leaving his homework undone
31
CHORUS
32
Then one day his luck ran out
33
When number two found a number
34
And called his house
35
Word on the street is that they talked all night
36
They had to teach him a lesson
37
They had to make things right
38
Poor Johnny!
39
He came home, looking cool one day
40
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
41
Once from the left
42
Then from the right
43
They took him down
44
Late that night
45
Poor Johnny (x3)
