Song by Brian Setzer<br /><br>
I had one cup of coffee and a cigarette<br>
Then I rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wet<br>
If I was gonna get movin’, now was the time<br>
So I packed up my bags and my gretsch ’59<br>
<br>
It’s a tough life, love<br>
But when push comes to shove<br>
It’s the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool<br>
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool<br>
Don’t let the big boys grind you down<br>
<br>
Johnny johnny, johnny kool<br>
He was a rebel that broke all the rules<br>
Everyone can’t stop talkin’ about<br>
The legend of johnny kool<br>
<br>
It was darker than black, not a star in the sky<br>
So I revved on the engine and let that mercury fly<br>
With the wind blowin’ by at a 105<br>
It gave me a thrill just bein’ alive<br>
<br>
It’s a tough life, love<br>
But when push comes to shove<br>
It’s the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool<br>
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool<br>
Don’t let the big boys grind you down<br>
<br>
Johnny johnny, johnny kool<br>
He was a rebel that broke all the rules<br>
Everyone can’t stop talkin’ about<br>
The legend of johnny kool<br>
<br>
Rumor had it now this cat had it all<br>
He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hall<br>
Some guy grabbed my arm and I jumped on the stage<br>
And I was rockin’ with a guy who was twice my age<br>
<br>
It’s a tough life, love<br>
But when push comes to shove<br>
It’s the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool<br>
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool<br>
Don’t let the big boys grind you down<br>
<br>
Johnny johnny, johnny kool<br>
He was a rebel that broke all the rules<br>
Everyone can’t stop talkin’ about<br>
The legend of johnny kool <br>
 <br>
