Oh, John James went on to London, goin’ on to London town
He want to be a member if him can
But I know what I know, he never wore them nice shirt before

Sitting in that mansion, smoking big cigar, yes sir, yeah
Sitting in that mansion smoking big cigar, yes sir
’Cause I know what I know, he never wore them nice shirt before

See all I want sir just, put me among some girls, yes sir, yes
He said, all I want sir just, put me among some girls, yes sir
But I know what I know, he never wore them tight shirt before

Johnny is-a the coolest one
Johnny is-a the coolest one
Johnny is-a the coolest one

But he is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
