Skip de skip, up the road
Off to school we go
"dont you be a bad boy johnny
Dont you slip up
Or play the fool"
"oh no ma, oh no da,
Ill be your golden boy
I will obey evry golden rule"
Get told by the teacher
Not to day-dream
Told by my mother:
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good (johnny)
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good (johnny)
Be good be good.
"are you going to play football this year, john? "
"no!"
"oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then,
Are you johnny? "
"no! no! no!"
"boy, you sure are a funny kid, johnny, but I like you! so tell me,
What kind of a boy are you, john? "
I only like dreaming
All the day long
Where no one is screaming
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good (johnny)
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Johnny!
