Johnny don't do it Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it Johnny don't do it
Johnny was an angel An angel dressed in black
He used to hang around the guys Down at the local track
He tried so hard to join them But they always turned him back
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
He was only 17 Just got out of school
He stole a bike from Joe's garage To prove that he was cool
He didn't know that the brakes were worn And fate can be so cruel
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Johnny don't do it)
Johnny don't do it (Johnny don't do it)
Well Johnny went a riding With his girlfriend on the back seat
Looking for some action And they found it down a back street
Suddenly a truck pulled out He tried to step on the brake
Johnny don't do it (Here is a news flash)
Johnny don't do it (Today, Johnny Kowalski, also known as Johnny Angel)
Johnny don't do it (and his young fiance Francine, were tragically killed)
Johnny don't do it (in a cycle accident)
Don't do it, don't do it (any witnesses please contact)
Now Johnny's with the angels
The angels in the sky
I wonder if he thinks of us
As he goes riding by
If only he had listened
Oh the number of times we tried
To tell him
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
Johnny don't do it (He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it (Such an angel)
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
