Mika - Holly Johnny lyrics

rate me

My mate Johnny's a looker

His habit is a one night stand

he would walk the streets in the usual way

Oh, what a pretty man

My mate Johnny was a lover

He fell for the girl next door

she said Johnny I can't be with you

You're pretty but you're also a bore

Finding love was not so easy

Cause people thought that he was too peculiar

So what was left for poor old Johnny

At least he found out that Jesus loves ya

Holy

Well he once was a where

Now hes a priest at 24

'Cause he's holy

And he wanted the most

Now he's left with Holy Ghost

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

My mate Johnny's a preacher

He's holy as they come

He says follow the lord and the Lord'll be good

And then he started callin me son

For God was good to poor old Johnny

He hid his life behind the walls of religion

What was left was not so funny

Cause I lost my friend to his new found position

Now hes holy

When he once was a where

Now hes a priest at 24

Cause hes holy

When he wanted the most

Now he's left with Holy Ghost

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me

I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me
