Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it

Johnny was an angel, an angel dressed in black
He used to hang around the guys down at the local track
He tried so hard to join them but they always turned him back

Johnny don't do it
(He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it
(Such an angel)

He was only 17, just got out of school
He stole a bike from Joe's garage to prove that he was cool
He didn't know that the brakes were worn and fate can be so cruel

Johnny don't do it
(He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it
(Such an angel)

Johnny don't do it
(Johnny don't do it)
Johnny don't do it
(Johnny don't do it)

Well, Johnny went riding with his girlfriend on the back seat
Looking for some action and they found it down a back street
Suddenly a truck pulled out, he tried to step on the brake

Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it, don't do it, don't do it
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it

Now Johnny's with the angels, the angels in the sky
I wonder if he thinks of us as he goes riding by
If only he had listened, oh the number of times we tried
(To tell him)

Johnny don't do it
(He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it
(Such an angel)

Johnny don't do it
(He was an angel)
Johnny don't do it
(Such an angel)

Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
...

Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
