The Lyrics
Whoo-ooh, whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh
Here comes Johnny lookin' mean and nasty
Don't make him angry, listen what I say
Here comes Johnny and he's holdin' a weapon
Danger's a-comin', better run away
He's kinda whacked out, he's kinda psycho
Yeah, the boy's insane
Mutilation, destruction
Bringin' all the bloodshed, bringin' the pain
He'll have you screamin' as he slices and dices
He'll have you fearin' for your life
He'll carve you up with the butcher's knife
Yeah, he'll use the butcher's knife
Whoo-ooh
Here comes Johnny, gonna hack through the crowd now
Corpses mounting by the score
All those people lyin' bleedin' on the ground now
Dead beat, won't run no more
He's havin' fun now, just gettin' started
Yeah, the boy's insane
Mutilation, destruction
Bringin' all the bloodshed, bringin' the pain
He'll have you screamin' as he slices and dices
He'll have you fearin' for your life
Yeah, he'll carve you up with the butcher's knife
Yeah, he'll use the butcher's knife
Whoo-ooh-ooh
There goes Johnny in a cop car's back seat
He's been arrested, it's a happy day
There goes Johnny, headed for the asylum
Doctors and nurses lockin' him away
Can't have him out there walkin' the streets now
'Cause the boy's insane
He's a psycho, a nutcase
Bringin' all the bloodshed, bringin' the pain
But even though the violence is over now
You still have nightmares 'bout the danger and the strife
You dream about, yeah, you dream about that knife
Mmm, about that butcher's knife
Whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Dream about the butcher's knife
Whoo-ooh
Here comes Johnny lookin' mean and nasty
Don't make him angry, listen what I say
Here comes Johnny and he's holdin' a weapon
Danger's a-comin', better run away
He's kinda whacked out, he's kinda psycho
Yeah, the boy's insane
Mutilation, destruction
Bringin' all the bloodshed, bringin' the pain
He'll have you screamin' as he slices and dices
He'll have you fearin' for your life
He'll carve you up with the butcher's knife
Yeah, he'll use the butcher's knife
Whoo-ooh
Here comes Johnny, gonna hack through the crowd now
Corpses mounting by the score
All those people lyin' bleedin' on the ground now
Dead beat, won't run no more
He's havin' fun now, just gettin' started
Yeah, the boy's insane
Mutilation, destruction
Bringin' all the bloodshed, bringin' the pain
He'll have you screamin' as he slices and dices
He'll have you fearin' for your life
Yeah, he'll carve you up with the butcher's knife
Yeah, he'll use the butcher's knife
Whoo-ooh-ooh
There goes Johnny in a cop car's back seat

Has Johnnie D seen this?
Yes I have - and the original song is all about "Here comes Johnny" the subway musician - so it's OK with me.....now if you'll excuse me, I have some sharpening to do.....snick snick snick snick
And after all the effort I went to making sure I didn't include the 'D' anywhere so nobody would find out - bloody hell.
It's OK, AussieBullDog - I voted you a triple-five for this one anyway. Don't be concerned.....you have absolutely nothing to worry about my friend....now if you'll excuse me once more.....snick....snick....snick....snick.....
I like this - it adds a whole new dimension to the original song.
