Golden Earring - Johnny Make Believe lyrics

rate me

From the Albums:

* Face it

* Naked II

* Last blast of the century

Waitress, more wine

We celebrate, the life and times of Johnny Make Believe

He was the greatest liar, of all mankind

The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive

He was a devil, undisguised

He will be sorely missed tonight

And the next day, will never be the same

Without the beautyful Johnny Make Believe

So let's get high, laugh till we cry

always remember, his last words:

“farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls,

don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams”

and then the spirit in the bottle

took our Johnny for a ride

Come on waitress, pour us more wine

to drown our grief, for Johnny Make Believe

He tattooed my heart, branded my soul

He said: “Go for true love, not for fool's gold

La, la, la, la

la, la, la, la, la, etc., etc.
