Carole King - One Was Johnny lyrics
(One was Johnny)
 1 was Johnny who lived by himself
 2 was a rat who jumped on his shelf
 3 was a cat who chased the rat
 4 was a dog who came in and sat
 5 was a turtle who bit the dog's tail
 6 was a monkey who brought in the mail
 7 a blackbird pecked poor Johnny's nose
(One was Johnny)
 8 was a tiger out selling old clothes
 9 was a robber who took an old shoe
 10 was a puzzle--what should Johnny do
(One was Johnny)
 He stood on a chair and said,
 Here's what I'll do--I'll start to
 Count backwards
 And when I am throughCarole King - One Was Johnny - http://motolyrics.com/carole-king/one-was-johnny-lyrics.html
 If this house isn't empty, I'll eat
 All of you!
 9 was the robber who left looking pale
 8 was the tiger who chased him to jail
 7 was the blackbird flew off to Havana
 6 was the monkey who stole the banana
 5 was the turtle who crawled off to bed
 4 was the dog who slid home on a sled
(One was Johnny)
 3 was the cat who pounced on the rat
 2 was the rat who left with the cat
 (One was Johnny, one was Johnny,
 One was Johnny)
 1 was Johnny who lived by himself
 And liked it like that!
(One was Johnny, one was Johnny)
