Johnny's Band Lyrics - Deep Purple

Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming 

Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan 

He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny 

Ah, suddenly they had a band 

Hey Johnny's Band 

He sure knew how to work up a crowd 

The sound that they made put the rest in the shade 

And the word soon got around 

They played every dance hall in the city 

Wrote themselves a cool forty-five 

With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops 

Oh man it was good to be alive

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Hail Johnny's Band 

Hear them on the radio 

Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash 

Whatever they touch turns to gold 

Benny went down with the hard stuff 

And Pete joined a cult in LA 

Johnny and Bill started going downhill 

And the crowds began melting away 

But hey, it's Johnny's Band 

Playing Saturday nights at The Crown 

The beards may be long and the money's long gone 

It's a wonder that they're still around 

But hey, it's Johnny's Band 

Playing all those wonderful songs 

Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound 

And here we are singing along
