Johnny's In Town 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Mar 2003

Down in our alley,
each Susie and Sally,
is rolling her eyes,
up to the skies,
looking so spooney.
I thought they were looney.
'till one of the girls put me wise,
their little secret is out,
here's what the fuss is about.

Johnny's in town,
Johnny's in town,
and oh, dearie, oh, dearie,
he's been aroun'
he knows French and ev'rything,
you should hear him
when he goes "OohLaLaLa!"
I'm glad he's here,
he's such a dear,
and I haven't seen him in a year.
Oh just think of it Clarice,
he spent two months in Paris,
and Oh! Oh!
Johnny's in town!

Johnny's in town,
Johnny's in town,
and oh, dearie, oh, dearie,
he's been aroun'
ev'ry time he looks at me,
he just makes me
feel so unnecessary!
I'm glad he's here,
he's such a dear,
and I haven't seen him in a year.
The French maid I've just hired,
she will have to be fired,
'cause Oh! Oh!
Johnny's in town!

Sweet little cuties
and tall stately beauties,
they all love him so;
why I don't know
they look so cheerful
and I get an earful
about him where ever I go.
and ev'ry girlie I see
just loves to whisper to me:

Johnny's in town,
Johnny's in town,
and oh, dearie, oh, dearie,
he's been aroun'
he knows French and ev'rything,
you should hear him
when he goes "OohLaLaLa!"
I'm glad he's here,
he's such a dear,
and I haven't seen him in a year.
Oh just think of it Clarice,
he spent two months in Paris,
and Oh! Oh!
Johnny's in town!

Johnny's in town,
Johnny's in town,
and oh, dearie, oh, dearie,
he's been aroun'
ev'ry time he looks at me,
he just makes me
feel so unnecessary!
I'm glad he's here,
he's such a dear,
and I haven't seen him in a year.
The French maid I've just hired,
she will have to be fired,
'cause Oh! Oh!
Johnny's in town!
