Lyrics:

I gotta get some money
And get it right away
Because my baby she
Gave me the word today
She's tired of sittin' home each night,
She says she has her fill
And if I don't take her
To the dance next week,
Johnny will

I checked and found
They're sellin' tickets, five bucks each
And all that kinda money
Ain't within my reach
But if I want to be the guy
Who is her only thrill
I better take her
To the dance next week
Or Johnny will

Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal
My lovin' baby away-a
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way
She smiled at him today

I tried to borrow it from my friends
But they said 'No'
Still somehow some way
I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends
On one ten dollar bill
'Cause if I don't take her
To the dance next week
Johnny will, Johnny will


Oh, that Johnny, that no good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal
My lovin' baby away-a
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way
She smiled at him today

I tried to borrow it from my friends
But they said 'no'
Still somehow some way
I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends
On one ten-dollar bill
'Cause if I don't take her
To the dance next week
Johnny will, Johnny will
Oh that Johnny
Johnny will...
