Oh, Johnny was a tall man but his was short He'd forget to duck at doorways and he'd get hurt I good care of him for he had no family Actually he did, but he forgot who be
Johnny often liked to go out on the He'd forget where be going so he'd just wander around I knew when he was for I would hear the smack Of his head hitting the doorway but it was alack
Johnny came home headless, it was a disgrace But wherever it's a-lying there's a smile upon his I have seen it coming, he finally lost his mind But if his head turn up soon then all his hats are mine
Johnny came towards me but he stopped As if trying to think of but having no luck Still he notice that his head weren't there 'Til he took out a and tried to comb his hair
I said, "Johnny where's your cranium?" but he seem to know He just shrugged his shoulders and tried to find his And the sight of him there topless made me to cry For I we'd ne'er again see eye to eye
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But wherever a-lying there's a smile upon his face I have seen it coming, he should have stayed in bed For now I fear he'll spend his just trying to get ahead
Refusing to believe he had split for good His lower half and me searched the It soon became apparent that his we wouldn't find it He could not his steps, he was absent minded
Well years went by til late one night I heard a voice I Was calling out to me, I flung open the door Johnny's head was home, it took a cab Alas, it was too late, his had gone bad
Johnny's was homeless, his body was cremated And the was harder than he had anticipated I of seen it coming he said in his eulogy But never I'd have to say I ain't got no-body
(I got nobody)
Johnny home headless, it was a great disgrace But now his head's upon a shelf, a smile upon his But now his upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
