Lyrics
The boy next door you've known for years
Has up and made the headlines
The front page read he lost his head
There's been nothin' like this in a long time
"No, no, now, John, they must be wrong"
All his neighbors say
"Johnny was a good boy, did what he should, boy
Just wouldn't act that way"
Yes, they say he was everybody's friend
But now they'll put him away
They say he just may do it again
They'd interview the folks he knew
For some dumb reason why (Johnny was a good boy)
Ask his mom where she went wrong
She'll say, "God knows I've tried" (Johnny was a good boy)
"How could a good, brave boy
Just go bad one day?"
Said he couldn't help himself
And we suspect foul play
So now they'll put him away
They say he's not a normal man
You never can tell
But well, they say he may do it again
Animals all loved him
And he had a way with kids (Johnny was a good boy)
Fame is quite a shock to them
When they found out what he did (Johnny was a good boy)
So now they'll put him away
They say he's not a normal man
You never can tell
But well, they say he may do it again
