Johnny Johnny, Johnny fly
Johnny Johnny fly away

Early one Sunday morning Johnny woke with an inclination to save the world
He mostly watched late night talk show fights
Ate spaghetti, slept in bars, but that morning Johnny's thoughts were on the stars
He drank his milk smoked a cigarette then he tore apart his TV set and car
He broke down his refrigerator
Washer dryer incubator and put it all together in his yard

Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon
Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon
His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food
His neighbors told him surely he would die
They said Johnny can't fly away

Johnny Johnny Johnny fly
Johnny Johnny fly away

That afternoon Johnny built his ship but he needed something to fuel it with
He tried gasoline and amphetamines but they didn't give him the power he needed 
So he opened up a box of flavored Milk Bones
The rocket engine roared with fire
Johnny wanted to get higher than higher
And up in the air he didn't care that he'd set fire to his hair
He thought if astronauts were bald you couldn't tell

Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon
Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon
His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food
His preacher told him surely he would die
He said Johnny can't fly away

Johnny Johnny Johnny fly
Johnny Johnny fly away

And now that he's floating safe in space he thinks he's found the perfect place I'm sure
And looking back he must have found, his feet would never touch the ground
And if they did he'd never walk the same
Time machines and childhood dreams
Aren't always what you want them to be I've heard
Floating deeper into space, Johnny lost the human race
And found himself incognito eating powdered ice cream

Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon
Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon
His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food
His neighbors told him surely he would die
They said Johnny can't fly away
Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon
Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon
His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food
His Mother told him surely he would die
She said Johnny can't fly away
His Preacher told him Johnny you will die
And Johnny knew that surely he would die
He said Johnny can't fly
