lyrics

oh my honey, the johnson's are in town
if there's a wall between us
those boys will knock it down
for a single dollar bill
they'll lift you off the ground
oh lord, the johnson's are in town.

my father took me to the fair
when i was just a child
my face was one big smile and
my eyes were open wide
he put me on his shoulders
lift me up above the crowd and he said
"look boy! the johnson's are in town!"

oh my honey, the johnson's are in town
if there's a wall between us
those boys will knock it down
for a single dollar bill
they'll lift you off the ground
oh lord, the johnson's are in town.

i met the girl i'm married to
when i was just sixteen
when we first met she did not
exactly take to me
lucky stars, sweet destiny
the johnsons came to town
after that a feather knocked her down

oh my honey, the johnson's are in town
if there's a wall between us
those boys will knock it down
for a single dollar bill
they'll lift you off the ground
oh lord, the johnson's are in town.

now my sons and daughters
are growing up like weeds
my wife and i kick back and think of
how it used to be
my bodies geting old, but i still can jump and shout
when those johnsons come to town

oh my honey, the johnson's are in town
if there's a wall between us
those boys will knock it down
for a single dollar bill
they'll lift you off the ground
oh lord, the johnson's are in town.
