Lyrics
Refrain:
Johnny’s in town, Johnny’s in town
And oh, dearie, oh, dearie, he’s been aroun’
He knows French and ev’rything
You should hear him when he goes “Oo-la-la-la”
I’m glad he’s here, he’s such a dear
And I haven’t seen him in a year
Oh, just think of it Clarice
He spent two months in Paris
And oh! Oh! Johnny’s in town
Refrain:
Johnny’s in town, Johnny’s in town
And oh, dearie, oh, dearie, he’s been aroun’
Every time he looks at me
He just makes me feel so unnecessary
I’m glad he’s here, he’s such a dear
And I haven’t seen him in a year
The French maid I’ve just hired
She will have to be fired
‘Cause oh! oh! Johnny’s in town
