Johnny Can't Read Lyrics

Henley Don
Miscellaneous
Johnny Can't Read
Football, baseball, basketball games
drinkin' beer, kickin' ass and takin' down names
( well-a ) top down, get-a-round, shootin' the line
Summer is here and Johnny's feelin' fine

( chorus )
But Johnny can't read
Summer is over and he's gone to seed
Johnny can't read
he'll never learn nothin' that he'll ever need

Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
Johnny can hang out: Johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up-

( chorus )

Well, is it teacher's fault? oh no
is it mommy's fault? oh no
is it society's fault? oh no
is it Johnny's fault? OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Couple years later, Johnny's on the run
[ Henley Don Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun
well, he went and did something that he shouldn't oughta done
FBI on his trail, use a gun, go to jail

( chorus )

Well, is it teacher's fault? oh no
is it mommy's fault? oh no
is it the president's fault? oh no
is it Johnny's fault? OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Johnny can dance and Johnny can love,
Johnny can push and Johnny can shove,
Johnny can pinball: Johnny can talk tough,
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up

( JOHNNY CAN'T READ! JOHNNY CAN'T READ! JOHNNY CAN'T READ! JOHNNY CAN'T
READ! )

Well, recess is over
RECESS IS OVER!!!!

Sitcom's, T&A, Johnny's mind is blown away,
cop shows, horror flicks, Johnny's brain is full of it,
etc.
