Lyrics
Chorus
Johnnie, Johnnie, You’re Scotch and you look bonnie
But a lot of your old pow’r has gone
You ain’t done what you oughter
You’ve mixed witht hat chap, wather
But we all hope you’ll get stronger later on
I left you, and tried “Oxo”
But my knees began to knock so
I tried ginder beer, and soda water, too
But my spirits, they got duller
And my nose lost all its colour
So Johnnie, Johnnie, I came back to you
Chorus
Johnnie, Johnnie, You’re Scotch and you look bonnie
With your funny little cork hat on
To walk you are unable tho’ you stand upon my table
Youre a friend, and I shall miss you when you’re gone
I came home late one morning
Just as the day was dawning
Then went upstairs to kiss my dear wife Lou
I thought at me she’d smile
Oh! but when I saw her dial
Johnnie, Johnnie, I came back to you
Chorus
Johnnie, Johnnie, you’re Scotch and you look bonnie
When I’m feeling sad you put me right
So come along you rascal
We’ll have a little glassful
Then I’ll toddle off to bed, old pal, good night
I love to smell the odour
When I mix you with a soda
What a shame you’re left alone the whole night through
But if sleep, it should forsake me
Should the baby cry, and wake me
Johnnie, Johnnie, I’ll come back to you
