(The Legend Of) Johnny Kool, Pt. 2

Lyrics

Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Went out for a drive
 He hopped right in that long black car
 With his baby by his side
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 In a run-down '50 Cadillac
 Jumped out the door, pulled out his .44
 And shot his baby three times in the back
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He ain't afraid to break all the rules
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He never planned on ever comin' back
 ♪
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Never thought he'd use the rod at all
 Then he said, "Hey daddy-o, put all your money in the bag
 Or you'll be starin' at your brains on the wall"
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Thought he'd try the man on for size
 So he took steady aim at that spinnin' red light
 But he wound up puttin' one right between the eyes
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He ain't afraid to break all the rules
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He never planned on ever comin' back
 No, no, no, no
 ♪
 Now Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Headed for the Arizona line
 But word had gotten out on the police radio
 And he got as far as Hollywood and Vine
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 Shot it out with California's best
 But in the end he laid there dead
 In a pool of crimson red
 And then someone else would put him to the test
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He ain't afraid to break all the rules
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He never planned on ever comin' back
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He ain't afraid to break all the rules
 Johnny, Johnny Kool
 He never planned on ever comin' back
 No, no, no, no
