Lyrics:

Took a city like New Orleans
To kill a man like Johnny Thunders
A man who died with his guitar in his hands
And all those young girls are cryin', cryin'
'Why, why, why Johnny Thunders?' cryin'
'Why, why, why Johnny Thunders?'
But I say
'Go, go, go Johnny Thunders', I say
'Go, go, go Johnny Thunders', took a
Took a city like New Orleans
To kill a man
Like Johnny
Like Johnny
Thunders
Thunders

And their very next song, it was gonna be a hit
It was gonna be a hit
And their very next song it was gonna be a hit
And all those young girls
That had Johnny's picture up on their bedroom walls
They clipped them out of the magazines
They were cryin'

'Why, why, why Johnny Thunders?', cryin'
'Why, why, why Johnny Thunders?'
But I say something different
I say
'Go, go, go Johnny Thunders', I say
'Go, go, go Johnny Thunders', took a
Took a city like New Orleans
To kill a man
Like Johnny
