Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny was an angel, an angel dressed in black
He used to hang around the guys down at the local track
He tried so hard to join them
But they always turned him back
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
He was only seventeen, just got out of school
He stole a bike from Joe's garage to prove that he was cool
He didn't know that the brakes were worn
And fate can be so cruel
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Well, Johnny went a riding
With his girlfriend on the back seat
Looking for some action
And they found it down a back street
Suddenly a truck pulled out
He tried to step on the brake
Johnny don't do it (Here is a news flash)
Johnny don't do it
(Today, Johnny Kowalski, also known as Johnny Angel)
Johnny don't do it
(And his young fiance Francine, were tragically killed)
Johnny don't do it (In a cycle accident)
Don't do it, don't do it (Any witnesses please contact)
Don't do it, don't do it (The police at Precinct 29)
Now Johnny's with the angels, the angels in the sky
I wonder if he thinks of us as he goes riding by
If only had listened, oh, the number of times we tried
To tell him
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
(Repeat)
