Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it
Johnny was an angel
An angel dressed in black

He used to hang around the guys
Down at the local track
He tried so hard to join them

But they always turned him back
Johnny don't do it
He was an angel

Johnny don't do it
Such an angel
He was only 17

Just got out of school
He stole a bike from joe's garage
To prove that he was cool

He didn't know that the brakes were worn
And fate can be so cruel
Johnny don't do it

He was an angel
Johnny don't do it
Such an angel

Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it
Well johnny went a riding
With his girlfriend on the back seat

Looking for some action
And they found it down a back street
Suddenly a truck pulled out

He tried to step on the brake
Johnny don't do it (here is a news flash)

johnny
Angel)

Don't do it, don't do it (any witnesses please contact)
Don't do it, don't do it (the police at precinct 29)
Now johnny's with the angels

The angels in the sky
I wonder if he thinks of us
As he goes riding by

If only had listened
Oh the number of times we tried
To tell him

Johnny don't do it
He was an angel
Johnny don't do it

Such an angel
Johnny don't do it
He was an angel

Johnny don't do it
Such an angel
Johnny don't do it

Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
