(The Legend Of) Johnny Cool - Brian Setzer

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 forty-four

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 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 comin' back

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

Johhny, Johnny Kool

Shot it out with California’s best

But in the end he laid there dead

In a pool of crimson red

Now 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 comin' back

Johnny, Johnny Kool

He ain’t afraid to break all the rules

Johnny, Johnny Kool

He never planned on comin' back
