Walking down the road
With no blade in your hand
Johnny you’re too bad, that’s what they say
Walking down the road
With a blade in your waist
Oh Johnny you’re too bad, Johnny you’re too bad
With your blade come flicking, You’re licking, and sticking
Too bad
With your running, and shooting,looting and tooting
You’re too bad.

Cos one of these days
You’re going to make your woman cry
Ooh, Johnny too bad
One of these days
You’re going to make your woman cry

Ooh, That’s what they tell me about you
With you licking and sticking
Switchblade a picking

Walking down the road
You’re going to hear a voice say
Come, Johnny, where you’re going to run to
Come that sweet day
You be walking down the road
You’might hear a voice say
Come, Johnny, where you’re going to run to
Come that sweet day
You might run to the rock for rescue
You’ll find no rock, you’ll find no rock there
Run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock, be no rock at all.
