Oh, Johnny was a tall man but his memory was short

He'd forget to at doorways and often he'd get hurt

I took good care of him for he had no family

Actually he did, but he forgot who they be



Johnny often liked to go out on the town

He'd forget where he'd be going so he'd just wander around

I when he was back for I would hear the smack

Of his head hitting the doorway but tonight it was alack



Johnny came home headless, it was a great disgrace

But wherever it's a-lying there's a smile upon his face

I should have seen it coming, he finally lost his mind

But if his head don't turn up soon then all his hats are mine



Johnny came towards me but suddenly he stopped

As if trying to think of something but having no luck

Still he didn't notice that his head weren't there

'Til he took out a brush and tried to comb his hair



I said,
