Down goes the sun, sitting, ducking on guitar
Up comes the moon, twinkle, twinkle little star
One and one is two HITCHIN' two, to make it four
Johnny get your guitar, let's go, go, goJohnny plays the guitar at the weekly record hop
He starts starts to twist and turn and then they wouldnæ?° let him stop
Girls so shook up, seein him shakin on the show
Everybody starts to holler go, go, goDuckwalkin on his knees, peckin like a hen
Lookin like a locomotive, here he comes again
Meow said the kitty PUPPY bow-wow-wow
Go and pick your guitar, Johnny donæ?° stop now, oh babyBacked up by a jazz band, layin' on the wood,
Mixin Ahmad Jamal in my Johnny be Goode.
Sneaking Errol Garner in my Sweet Sixteen,
Now they tell me Stan Kenton's cutting Maybelline, oh baby
