Mt. Joy - Johnson Song Lyrics

Mt. Joy Lyrics

"Johnson Song"

Take me out of California
Been running with the band
Sunny day, in line for pizza
When the rain came pouring in
But there's a band at the Bitter End
And they are playing your favorite song
Oh, but you play the tambourine wrong

(They're singing)
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
Dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
Dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming

The drummer plays like no tomorrow
Loudest band I've ever heard
I knew just what it was, but
I could not hear a word
And they're playing that Pixies song
Yes, you know just what I want
As you play the tambourine wrong

(They're singing)
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
Dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
Dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming

(They're singing)
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
Dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
We dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming

And I don't know of anyone who
Dances like you do
It's terrible, but oh, so honest
And it makes me want you

Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
Dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming
Oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la, oh-la-la
We dance away, 'cause a Johnson's coming
