Johnny Was A Rude Boy


Johnny was a rude boy living on dreams Hung around with the scum and all the dope fiends Johnny was a rude boy his life was crappy Some cans and a joint and he was happy. A sweet young man who had massive potential But never got one academic credential The boys in his class had it all on a plate He chose to be an enemy of the state.


Johnny was a rude boy his mates were too Standing in line on that rotten dole queue Johnny was a rude boy with a bright idea I’ll work in Tesco or even Ikea So he did 9 to 5 was a slave to the city Working in a job where the pay was shitty The boss was enough to make him ill So he left with severance straight from the till


Johnny was a rude boy had a good plan Tagged his name on a corner where he’d stand Johnny was a rude boy the guy was sound He had the best weed in all of town Made his money to pay the rent His pocket knife was dull and bent Came across all loaded and tough But the money he made was never enough


Johnny was a rude boy a lamb to the slaughter Soon was falling for the constable’s daughter Johnny was a rude boy earning for two He knew exactly what he had to do He asked her when does your dad go out She said 9.30 without a doubt She asked him why he said no reason But his mind was awash with acts of treason


10 9


Johnny was a rude boy in the constables house Stealing money for his beloved spouse Johnny was a rude boy down on his luck He didn’t know he was a sitting duck His girlfriend’s mum was woken from bed And put the frying pan to his head Johnny was two steps from the door Dazed and confused on the kitchen floor


So that was Johnny’s little tale Fresh off the dole and bound to fail Now his face is battered and pale Johnny was a rude boy but now he’s in jail.
