Lyrics

(Me and Elizabeth are gonna sing this song about the letter that Johnny Walker read, hit it boy!) Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar Minding his own affairs Drinking his namesake over the rocks He was drunk, too drunk to care When a girl from the bar walked up beside him And this is what she said She said, "A woman came by with a letter for you" And this is what the letter said (the singing letter) "Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone" Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read (Rrread that!) Then John, he got up from the table Slowly, so slowly he walked outside You know, he was thinking of his wife and his 12 little children back at home And how his drinking had ruined their lives (now folks, here is where it gets really really sad) Then John, he stared off into that street light And a vision filled his poor, poor heart with dread For you see folks, it was him lying drunk there in the gutter (all covered with flies and stuff) Clutching in his little own hand the letter that Johnny Walker read And this here is what it said "Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone" Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read (here we go!) "Dear John, please, Johnny, please come home I need your love and the kids, they gotta be fed And John, if you don't hurry back I'll be gone" Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read Yes, that's what the letter said The letter that Johnny Walker read (Right!)
