The Tiger Lillies - Johnny Head-in-Air lyrics

As he trudged along to school It was always Johnny's rule To be looking at the sky And the clouds that floated by Just before him there did lay In his in his in his way Johnny never thought about So that everyone cried out Well look at Johnny Johnny there Little Johnny Johnny Head-In-Air Running in Johnny's way Came a little dog one day Johnny's eyes were still astray In the sky every day And he never heard them cry Johnny mind the dog is nigh Down they fell with such a thump Johnny and dog in a lump Once with head as high as ever Johnny walked beside the river Johnny watched the swallows trying Which was the cleverest at flying Oh what fun oh what fun Johnny watched the bright round sun Going in and coming out That was all he thought about So he strode on only think To the river's river's very brink Where the bank was high and steep And the water water very deep And the fishes in a row Stared to see him coming coming so One more step oh sad to tell Headlong in Johnny fell Here are the fishes in dismay Wagged their tails and ran away Here lay Johnny on his face With his little red writing case And the fishes one two three Came back again you see Up they came a moment after To see Johnny in the here and after Each popped up his little head To tease poor Johnny who was dead Yeah each popped up his little head To tease poor Johnny who was dead
