Johnny's Room Lyrics

There are two things I can't stand
And one of them is your mom
What is just as bad is your dad
Why did we have to come?
This is the Eighties, it should be understood
That we sleep together

We've been together for a month now
Why are they so uptight?
When they invited us to dinner
I didn't know it meant "spend the night"
I helped with dishes
Your mother told me all about when you were small
And then she said:

   Before it gets too late I'll show you where
 you'll sleep tonight
   You'll share a room with Johnny
 (Repeat)

Over B and B, we watched TV
Me and you and your mom and dad
When the news came on, your dad yawned
And said "Come on, dear, let's go to bed"
We stayed on the couch there
And then your dad came downstairs and said
"Hey, kids, let's go!"

I bumped my head getting into bed
In Johnny's lower bunk
I couldn't sleep, 'cause the little creep
Snored and his tennis shoes stunk
I listened to this fish tank
And the bubbles seemed to be saying to me:

   Before it gets too late I'll show you where
 you'll sleep tonight
   You'll share a room with Johnny
 (Repeat)

At two a.m. I couldn't help myself
I tiptoed down the hall to your door
But then your dad came out and said
"Where are you going?"
"I guess I lost my way to the bathroom"

   Before it gets too late I'll show you where
 you'll sleep tonight
   You'll share a room with Johnny
 (Repeat)
