Well, Johnny come in last night Man, he was an awful sight The bartender said, "Hey Johnny! There'll be no band tonight" "The piano-man's drunk He been down in the dumps The drummer's in bed He got a pain in his head No Johnny There'll be no band tonight" The clock was stickin' close to ten The mailman came runnin' in He said, "Any-body here named Johnny? I got a special deliv'ry for him" "It's from a woman he knows It's from his Bayou Rose The girl of his dreams wants a wedding ring" Love, Rosie "I've got a letter for him" Well Johnny jumped up from his beer Told the mailman, "Yes I'm here" An' then he read it out loud to the bar room crowd But before they had a chance to cheer He said "Call up the band I'm a happy man I want them to play On my wedding day" When he told them They had a chance to cheer The piano-man came even though it was rainin' The drummer was drummn' just like an insane man They tore off the roof, they knocked down the doors And Johnny an' his bride drove away in her Ford Slappin' the dash to the beat of the band Draggin' behind them a string of tin cans And they ain't been back yet but I know when they do Johnny's gonna play some of the sweetest blues
