Johnny Ander by Gayle Haness Lyrics

[Intro]
Johnny Ander didn't hang out
And he didn't have long hair
Johnny Ander, you know it bugged him
When the hippies called him square

[Verse 1]
Johnny Ander, please don't listen to the fringe of society
I used to tell him "Baby, I love you, please stay here with me"
Johnny Ander, he started staying out, just hangin' around
Johnny Ander, he found the people who were waiting to be found

[Verse 2]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Johnny no!
That life is not for you!
Oh Johnny, please don't do the things you know you shouldn't do!

[Verse 3]
And they told him
"Johnny Ander, thеre's only one way to prove you'rе a man"
Don't you know?
He let his hair grow and he changed his brand
[Verse 4]
Johnny Ander, ey look what I got!
And there's more where that came from
Come on Johnny!
Come on try!
Try just one

[Verse 5]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Johnny no!
They're trying to mess up your head!
Someday they'll find you dead!
Our love is silly, he said
Maybe one in a million, he said

[Outro]
Johnny Ander, love couldn't stop him
He had to have his kicks
Johnny Ander, with a gravestone
Johnny Ander, 1947 - 1966
