(The legend of) Johnny Kool Lyrics


written by B. Setzer

I had one cup of coffee and a cigarette

Then I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking
wet

If I was gonna get movin', now was the time

So I packed up my bags and my Gretsch '59

It's a tough life, love

But when push comes to shove

It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool

Played his guitar and he sang like a fool

Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool

He was a rebel that broke all the rules

Everyone can't stop talkin' about

The legend of Johnny Kool

It was darker than black, not a star in the sky

So I revved on the engine and let that Mercury
fly

With the wind blowin' by at a 105

It gave me a thrill just bein' alive

It's a tough life, love

But when push comes to shove

It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool

Played his guitar and he sang like a fool

Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool

He was a rebel that broke all the rules

Everyone can't stop talkin' about

The legend of Johnny Kool

Rumor had it now this cat had it all

He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the
hall

Some guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stage

And I was rockin' with a guy who was twice my age

It's a tough life, love

But when push comes to shove

It's the only life for Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool

Played his guitar and he sang like a fool

Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny Johnny, Johnny Kool

He was a rebel that broke all the rules

Everyone can't stop talkin' about

The legend of Johnny Kool
