I remember johnny - hey!   Johnny come lately   I remember her shoes like a ballerina   A girl called johnny who   Changed her name when she   Discovered her choice was to   Change or to be changed      I remember a girl called johnny   Black as hell and white as a ghost   Don't talk about life or death   She said, "I've had enough of both"   A girl called johnny who was not scared   They'd have torn her to pieces but   Who would dare?      I remember a girl called johnny   The train came to town, boy she got on it   With no looking back, with not a word   If she said goodbye, well I never heard   But the noise goes on   The noise, the jazz   And the truth is in somebody elses hands   And the house that a girl called johnny built   Is now just some ashes and sand
