Then Came Jonny by Original Cast of Zombie Prom Lyrics
[KIDS]
Wake up ev'ry morning
Nothing is the same
[BOYS]
What a time to be a teen...
[GIRLS]
Life's a non-stop halloween...
[KIDS]
Since Jonny made the scene!
And suddenly the school is in a buzz
And there ain't no goin' back to what was
It's another day
But not just another day!
[EDDIE, spoken]
My top story today: atomic adolescent angst at our own Enrico Fermi High School!
Steady readers will remember the tragic story of young Jonny Warner, nuclear suicide victim
Well, hang on your hats, gang! This reporter has it on good authority that Mr. Warner has risen from the dead and has attempted to gain admittance to his school once more!
Keep reading for all the latest news from Enrico Fermi High...
[KIDS]
TV dinners
And Davy Crockett
Then came Jonny
And like a rocket!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
Attention, students! In regards to these posters and fliers, let it be known that I will not stand for it!
When I find out who is responsible for this propaganda... and I will find out... heads will roll!
(sung)
In response to your behavior
And your failure to obey
I'm canceling the pep squad...
... Effective yesterday!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
No more pep squad, children. Try that one on for size. That is all!
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[KIDS]
Drive-in movies
And Howdy Doody
Then came Jonny
And rooty-tooty!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
People! In the wake of this recent zombie nonsense, there have been many transgressions pertaining to the school dress code
Shirt-tails coming untucked! Cleats worn in the hallways! And, as much as it pains me to say it...
Clip-ons!
(sung)
For these flagrant violations
Of the dress code, I reward
The dismantling of the baseball team...
... Until order is restored!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
Uniforms and equipment may be turned in directly to me after
School. Girls -- that includes your pom-poms. That is all!
[JONNY & TOFFEE]
How, how did this come to pass?
How, how could we know?
I'd gladly trade
This mess we've made
For the chance to go back once more
To the life we were living before!
[KIDS]
Caution lost
And bridges burned
From the day that Jonny returned!
[EDDIE, spoken]
Day seven of the "Jonny Warner crisis" at Enrico Fermi High found a small band of student protesters, lobbying for the return of the undead teen! Principal Strict assures us that she has the matter well in hand, but this reporter has his doubts!
[KIDS]
Now things are not the way
I always thought that they would be
The world is in 3D
Thanks to Jonny!
Life is like a movie
That's jumped right off the screen
[GIRLS]
Things went from black and white, to --
[BOYS]
Atomic green!
[KIDS]
Thanks to Jonny!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
Students! I hold in my hand a petition that has been circulated throughout this school, requesting the reinstatement of Jonny Warner as a student!
[KIDS]
Then came Jonny!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
Perhaps there has been a little confusion here, but the issue is already decided! This is not a democracy, this is a high school!
[KIDS]
Now all the thing I used to love
Are looking pretty tame
Nothing is the same
Thanks to Jonny!
I Love Lucy leaves me cold
Dick Clark is looking old!
[MISS STRICT]
Ev'ry senior's on probation
For this lack of common sense
And I'm on the brink of cancelling
All after school events
At the next sign of rebellion
I shall drop the final bomb
I've received the board's permission
To suspend the senior prom!
[MISS STRICT, spoken]
The prom is still scheduled for tomorrow night, but at the first sign of Jonny Warner -- at the first indication of support for his cause -- I will cancel it! That is all
[EDDIE, spoken]
Tomorrow night, on Motorwise Gasoline's Hard to Believe, we have the amazing -- but true -- story of Jonny Warner! Join me, Exposé Magazine's Eddie Flagrante, as I explore this ground-breaking event!
Will Jonny be allowed back in school? Will he win back the girl of his dreams? Will there be a prom? Join me tomorrow night for the answers to these, and many other questions on --
[KIDS]
