Oh, I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout a little boy.
|
Oh, a sad little boy.
|
I'm talkin' 'bout Little Johnny Hooker.
|
|
Little Johnny Hooker was a sissy on the street all his life --
|
All his natural born life.
|
Until his daddy took him aside and said,
|
"Son, now here's your switchblade knife boy."
|
|
He said "get out in the street boy,
|
Cut yourself some meat boy.
|
Get out on your own side of the road,
|
And lighten my load."
|
|
Johnny made a mistake and took his knife down to school one day.
|
Hey, yeah, yeah.
|
And, when the bell rang for lunch.
|
Freddie Miller went and got in Johnny's way boy.
|
He took his knife from his pocket, pushed a button on the side.
|
When he seen the queen steel,
|
You ought to seen the light in Freddy's eyes.
|
|
Oh, Yeah...
|
|
Little Johnny Hooker learned his lesson from the knife now you see,
|
(Yes he did.)
|
Because for what he done to Fred he spent some time in a penitentiary.
|
It was a day in the courtroom, Exhibit letter "A."
|
When the jury seen the knife they put little Johnny's ass away.
