Johanna drove slowly into the city   The Hudson River all filled with snow   She spied the ring on His Honor's finger   Oh-oh-oh      A thousand years in one piece of silver   She took it from his lily-white hand   Showed no fear--she'd seen the thing   In the young men's wing at Sloan-Kettering      Look outside at the raincoats coming, say "oh"   Look outside at the raincoats coming, say "oh"      'Ey, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey!   'Ey, 'ey, 'ey!      His Honor drove southward seeking exotica   Down to the pueblo huts of New Mexico   Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas   Oh-oh-oh      I saw Johanna down in the subway   She took an apartment in Washington Heights   Half of the ring lies here with me   But the other half's at the bottom of the sea      Look outside at the raincoats coming, say "oh"   Look outside at the raincoats coming, say "oh"   Look outside at the raincoats coming, say "oh"   Look outside at the raincoats coming, say "oh"      'Ey, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey!   'Ey, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey!
