Though le loved to rock and roll
|
All these many years
|
He cared about the old people's
|
And little children's ears
|
Though he was a guitar man
|
He reflected and he vowed
|
Never will I ever be
|
No ne'er, ne'er again
|
The man who was too loud
|
Johnny's not a poor man
|
No, he never gets him down
|
Now that he is free he is not proud
|
He don't need the power
|
Just to make a sound
|
He is not the man that he used to be
|
Oh, no, the man who was too loud
|
I will play softly
|
I will play softly
|
I will play softly now
|
'cause I was the man who was too loud
|
it's not because he don't respect
|
the popular music style
|
you know I saw him open up
|
for the kind of the surf guitar
|
do not think he does not like
|
the cheering of the crowd
|
no, he is glad that they came to see
|
the man who used to be
|
the man who was too loud
|
Johnny is a rich man
|
Yeah, he still gets around
|
He is glad to be the car who meowed
|
He don't need the power
|
Just to get his sound
|
He is not the man that he used to be
|
Oh no, the man who was too loud
|
I will play softly
|
I will play softly
|
I will play softly now
|
'cause I was the man who was too loud
|
