Leo Sayer & Frank Farrell
he pleads to his manager
there just seems to be no way out
have one last cigarette
no time to put it out
he`s quitting this time for good
this is the last gig for johnny b. goode
and now the pressure`s really on
black limousines close in
his hotel suite is really neat
but the flight nearly did him in
a telegram said break a leg
but the doctor says he`s broken his head
set up the amps
play it loud
so no one can hear the words
good job
they wouldn`t wanna hang around
set up the ligths
but keep em dim
so no one will see him in
the state that he`s in
ladies and gentlemen
will you welcome for the last time
a man who if he could help it
would not be here tonight
the man who has nothing left to prove
bye bye johnny b. goode
the agent`s looking restless
he says this house is awful bad
he said we should have booked the audience
rather than booked the band
he`s quitting this time for good
because they won`t turn up for johnny b. goode
