Johnny Drughead Lyrics by Mutabaruka

The Ultimate Collection

1983

And the saga continue
[Verse 1]
Johnny was a singer inna Jamaica
Say him a go make it inna America
So him check out the embassy an get a visa
Next day Johnny flyin on air jamaica
Yes Johnny lef his queen fi da golyard scene
Start to live the American dream
Johny was startin to do quite well
Underestimated, dis a concrete hell
He meet a white ting, settled inna brooklyn
A little more Johnny was a free basein
[Chorus]
Johnny looking better inna New York
End up sniffing coke inna Central Park
Now Johnny out of work and really get broke
Him run out of luck, poor Johnny
[Verse 2]
Johnny nevеr want no ganja for puff
Cos him says smoking wasn’t enough
So him start to check out 42nd Street
Wherе all the punkheads meet to cheat
[Chorus]
Johnny looking better inna New York
End up sniffing coke inna Central Park
Now Johnny out of work and really get broke
Him run out of luck, poor Johnny
[Verse 3]
Man for man wasn’t really Johnny bag
But still yet him end up becoming a fag
Trying to act cool, playing the fool
Inna Manhattan, Johnny get rotten
[Verse 4]
It was a cold winter night
The moon never light
And Brooklyn Bridge was a crowd
[?]
Another one lose him sanity
Give away pride and dignity
Trying to act cool, playing the fool
(Johnny looking better inna New York)
(Sniffing coke inna Central Park)
Johny was startin to do quite well
Underestimated, dis a concrete hell
Trying to act cool, playing the fool
Poor Johnny
