johnny woke up
he was just a guy
he loved pretty jenny
in the sweet bye and bye
he got up and got dressed
because that is what he did
he got a jar of instant coffee
and twisted off the lid
he made a cup of instant coffee
which was not very good
he had been raised
in a lower class neighborhood
he wanted to call jenny
but it was not yet noon
if he woke her before that
she would cal him a goon
johnny looked out the window
the sky was blue
he sipped his instant coffee
and wondered what to do
with his day and with his life
they were both the same thing
he did not want to dance
and he did not want to sing
he wanted to take jenny
away to a desert isle
but getting her to do that
might take a while
he stood at the window
and looked out at the sky
life is sad
and that is no lie
