Oh! Johanna, I like you for your manner
I like you for your eyes of dreamy blue
Oh! Johanna, don’t be a hard-boiled Hannah
But join me in a little bill and coo, do
Oh! Johanna, although I’ve not a tanner
The heart that beats for you is good and true
Oh! Johanna, I should like to shout “hosanna”
Johanna, Alannah, you’ll do.

OH! JOHANNA
As recorded by: Jack Payne / Billy Scott Coomber

Oh! Johanna, I like your little manner
I like your dreamy eyes of tender blue
Hey, listen here, Johanna, don’t be a hard-boiled Hannah
But join me in a little bill and coo, do
Oh! Johanna, although I’ve got a tanner
This heart that beats for you is good and true
Now see here Miss Johanna, I should like to shout “Hosanna”
Johanna, Alana, you’ll do.
