Brian Setzer - Johnny Kool Lyrics
written by B. SetzerI had one cup of coffee and a cigaretteThen I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wetIf I was gonna get movin', now was the timeSo I packed up my bags and my Gretsch '59It's a tough life, loveBut when push comes to shoveIt's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny KoolPlayed his guitar and he sang like a foolDon't let the big boys grind you downJohnny Johnny, Johnny KoolHe was a rebel that broke all the rulesEveryone can't stop talkin' aboutThe legend of Johnny KoolIt was darker than black, not a star in the skySo I revved on the engine and let that Mercury flyWith the wind blowin' by at a 105It gave me a thrill just bein' aliveIt's a tough life, loveBut when push comes to shoveIt's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny KoolPlayed his guitar and he sang like a foolDon't let the big boys grind you downJohnny Johnny, Johnny KoolHe was a rebel that broke all the rulesEveryone can't stop talkin' aboutThe legend of Johnny KoolRumor had it now this cat had it allHe was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hallSome guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stageAnd I was rockin' with a guy who was twice my ageIt's a tough life, loveBut when push comes to shoveIt's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny KoolPlayed his guitar and he sang like a foolDon't let the big boys grind you downJohnny Johnny, Johnny KoolHe was a rebel that broke all the rulesEveryone can't stop talkin' aboutThe legend of Johnny Kool
