| As he trudged along to school
|
| It was always Johnny’s rule
|
| To be looking at the sky
|
| And the clouds that floated by
|
| Just before him there did lay
|
| In his in his in his way
|
| Johnny never thought about
|
| So that everyone cried out
|
| Well look at Johnny Johnny there
|
| Little Johnny Johnny Head-In-Air
|
| Running in Johnny’s way
|
| Came a little dog one day
|
| Johnny’s eyes were still astray
|
| In the sky every day
|
| And he never heard them cry
|
| Johnny mind the dog is nigh
|
| Down they fell with such a thump
|
| Johnny and dog in a lump
|
| Once with head as high as ever
|
| Johnny walked beside the river
|
| Johnny watched the swallows trying
|
| Which was the cleverest at flying
|
| Oh what fun oh what fun
|
| Johnny watched the bright round sun
|
| Going in and coming out
|
| That was all he thought about
|
| So he strode on only think
|
| To the river’s river’s very brink
|
| Where the bank was high and steep
|
| And the water water very deep
|
| And the fishes in a row
|
| Stared to see him coming coming so
|
| One more step oh sad to tell
|
| Headlong in Johnny fell
|
| Here are the fishes in dismay |
| Wagged their tails and ran away
|
| Here lay Johnny on his face
|
| With his little red writing case
|
| And the fishes one two three
|
| Came back again you see
|
| Up they came a moment after
|
| To see Johnny in the here and after
|
| Each popped up his little head
|
| To tease poor Johnny who was dead
|
| Yeah each popped up his little head
|
| To tease poor Johnny who was dead |
