Johnny Come Lately
Peter White
Johnny come lately, well I suppose
That for people like us that's just
The way it goes
Send myself a card, says get well soon
Put in on a TV in an empty room
Johnny come lately - hoo hoo hoo
Johnny come home and sing some blues
Johnny come lately - ha ha how
Johnny keep it in don't let it out
Johnny come lately, or don't come at all
Spend your life waitin' on one phone call
Wake up one morning it's perfectly clear
She don't even know that Johnny lives here
Johnny come lately - hoo hoo hoo
Johnny come home and sing some blues
Johnny come lately - ha ha how
Johnny keep it in don't let it out
One more hand me down
One more thorny crown
Suck it in and face another day
People shake my hand
They see the happy man
But they don't know the story
Long ago and far away
