Johnny B. Rotten by The Monks (UK) Lyrics

[Intro]
It's tough at the top!
Alright!

[Verse 1]
Looking for trouble cruising down on King's Road
Can't stand the tourists strolling a la mode
When I am on the street everyone knows

[Chorus]
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny

Johnny B. Rotten tonight
You'd better hold that lid on tight
You don't want to get in a fight
You'd better hold that lid on tight

[Verse 2]
The fans go wild, they really get out of hand
They have to touch me 'cos my record's been banned
They think I'm crazy so I tell them, "I am!"
[Chorus]
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny

Johnny B. Rotten tonight
You'd better hold that lid on tight
You don't want to get in a fight
You'd better hold that lid on tight

[Verse 3]
I'm something else in the clothes I wear
The papers quote me when I swear
It's all a lie, but I don't care

[Chorus]
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny

Johnny B. Rotten tonight
You'd better hold that lid on tight
You don't want to get in a fight
You'd better hold that lid on tight

[Bridge]
Johnny Johnny Go!
Johnny Johnny Go!
Go Johnny Go Johnny Go Go Go Go!
I'll catch them pretties with a flash of my teeth
They love to show my what they've got underneath
I say, "Now come back, spend the nighttime with me
I've got a little place just southwest of Fleetwood
But my life isn't that secure, don't you see
'Cos things don't go the way that they used to be
Social Security and d-o-n-e!

[Chorus]
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny

Johnny B. Rotten tonight
You'd better hold that lid on tight
You don't want to get in a fight
You'd better hold that lid on tight x 2

Johnny B. Rotten tonight
You'd better hold that lid on tight
Johnny B. Rotten tonight
You'd better hold that lid on tight

[Outro]
Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten tonight...
Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten tonight...
