Holy Johnny lyrics walk the streets in the usual wayOh, what a pretty manMy mate Johnny was a loverHe fell for the girl next doorshe said Johnny I can't be with youYou're pretty but you're also a boreFinding love was not so easyCause people thought that he was too peculiarSo what was left for poor old JohnnyAt least he found out that Jesus loves yaHolyWell he once was a wh*reNow hes a priest at 24'Cause he's holyAnd he wanted the mostNow he's left with Holy GhostI prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for meI prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for meMy mate Johnny's a preacherHe's holy as they comeHe says follow the lord and the Lord'll be goodAnd then he started callin me sonFor God was good to poor old JohnnyHe hid his life behind the walls of religionWhat was left was not so funnyCause I lost my friend to his new found positionNow hes holyWhen he once was a wh*reNow hes a priest at 24Cause hes holyWhen he wanted the mostNow he's left with Holy GhostI prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for meI prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me /I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me
