Who am I?
Well, I'm a friend of Johnny's!
You must remember Johnny,
He said he knew you well!
How is he?
Well, things are fine with Johnny,
But when it cames to Johnny,
There isn't much to tell!

Except that he can never disguise
The lonely look in his eyes.
At a party he's hard to find,
'Cause it seems he's got somethin' on his mind.

What to do?
Well, as a friend of Johnny's,
I'm here to say that Johnny
Doesn't know too much about romance,
And Johnny would like to know
If he could have another chance!

I'm here to say that Johnny
Doesn't know too much about romance,
And Johnny would like to know
If he could have another chance!
(scat)
I'm just a friend of Johnny's.
