Little Johnny Hooker

Oh, I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout a little boy

Oh, a sad little boy

I'm talkin' 'bout Little Johnny Hooker

Little Johnny Hooker was a sissy on the street all his life --

All his natural born life

Until his daddy took him aside and said

"Son, now here's your switchblade knife boy."

He said "get out in the street boy

Cut yourself some meat boy

Get out on your own side of the road

And lighten my load."

Johnny made a mistake and took his knife down to school one day

Hey, yeah, yeah

And, when the bell rang for lunch

Freddie Miller went and got in Johnny's way boy

He took his knife from his pocket, pushed a button on the side

When he seen the queen steel

You ought to seen the light in Freddy's eyes

Oh, Yeah ...

Little Johnny Hooker learned his lesson from the knife now you see

(Yes he did.)

Because for what he done to Fred he spent some time in a penitentiary

It was a day in the courtroom, Exhibit letter "A."

When the jury seen the knife they put little Johnny's ass away

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Oh, Little Johnny boy

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Oh, Little Johnny boy

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

He was a young boy

He's thinkin' the rest of his life

For what he done with the knife

Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Jooohhhnnny

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't

Jooohhhnnny
