I bought cigarettes so did he, hard men for this day we'd be
into school through the gate, had to light up just couldn't wait
kids said we were really tough
and begged us for drags and butts
Johnny Johnny silly kid, I'd never do what you did
smoking strolling without a care
teachers patrolling got to beware
teacher approaching, my cigarette I chuck it
not poor Johnny, he puts it in his pocket
teacher is a going, Je Sui Tres Bon liar
Johnny is glowing, Tu Est Un bonfire
Johnny Johnny silly kid, I'd never do what you did
now Johnny was howling fully ablaze
he had seen much quieter days
he was such a illuminating sight
a beacon in the morning light
everyone converged around the scene
and all together, shouted Halloween
Johnny Johnny silly kid, I'd never do what you did
then some teacher was heard to say
stop frying chestnuts, and move away
come now lads lets have some dispersal
and lets not forget our fire drill rehearsal
get some buckets and with water fill it
but take your time so as not to spill it
Johnny Johnny silly kid, I'd never do what you did
when water reared it quenching head
there was no doubt young john was dead
when I recovered from this life shaping shock
I put his remains in my cigarette box
I guess it was a fitting urn
for my dear friend Johnny burns
alcohol will siphon my future wealth
cos smoking will destroy your health
Johnny Johnny silly kid, I'd never do what you did
