Looking for Johnny Rockaway

Looking for Johnny Rockaway

Timothy Underberry

Looking for Johnny
Rockaway
He's been seen
That's what people say

He'll bring you cheer
And share his load
Have you in tears
It's been told

A storyteller
Weaving purple yarn
Taking on wind
Like a red barn

Secrets secrete
And rumors run
For Johnny confides
In everyone

I can't wait
I can't wait
Oh no no no no no no
I can't wait
I can't wait
Johnny don't be too late

Looking for Johnny
Rockaway
He forgets what
He's about to say

But you forgive
And you give some more
With Johnny you know
There's more in store

Tongue tied by
Her tie dye
Gets real quiet
Around her thighs

His hands are priestly
But his priest is not
Johnny's moved onto
A sweeter spot

I can't wait
I can't wait
Oh no no no no no no
I can't wait
I can't wait
Johnny don't be too late

When he's in town
Well nobody's down
Johnny Rockaway
Johnny Rockaway

With him
Alongside
You're in for the ride
Of your life

Johnny
Rockaway
Holds sway every
Day of his stay

You can say
An eye for an eye
On that day that Johnny
Saw golf die

But Johnny confronts
A cloudy day
He's pondering instead of
Making hay

Above all they say
They love his way and
Expect him to live
As long as Mae

A musical snob
And a Deadhead
His nose descends
It's been said

I can't wait
I can't wait
Oh no no no no no no
I can't wait
I can't wait
Johnny don't be too late

When he's in town
Well nobody's down
Johnny Rockaway
Johnny Rockaway

With him
Alongside
You're in for the ride
Of your life

Johnny
Rockaway
Holds sway every
Day of his stay

His hoagies
Are quite the find
His methodology
So refined

Buy a hat
On a whim
In seconds flat
He'll bring it on back

He's writing a script
Without a pen
About what happened
To his best friend

Stealing second
He could fly
Johnny's about to
Touch the sky
Oooooh

Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny

Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny

Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny

Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
