The Ballad of Jimmy & Johnny lyrics

Whatever you're doing, wherever you go

Whenever you hide they seem to know

Johnny and Jimmy are waiting for you on the corner

The corner's a shabby and gloomy site

The air is cold it's windy tonight

Johnny and Jimmy don't mind they don't feel forlorn there

They kill their time by threatening lives

Of innocent soul and sharpen their knives on the corner

Life is a pain in the ass

It's not that they don't understand

What you have done but you failed in the end

Johnny and Jimmy, too, are fond of the races

Now it's too late to mend the matter

They're doing their job you should have known better

Whenever they light a fag they hide their faces

Now they have seen you, mend your pace

They're close behind you this is the race of the races

Life is a pain in the ass

They got him halfway up the hill

One of them said: I'm sorry, Bill!

Johnny and Jimmy are full of nasty habits

He didn't try to defend himself

He didn't dare to cry for help

Johnny and Jimmy are snakes and he was a rabbit

Johnny and Jimmy are snakes, Johnny and Jimmy are snakes and he was a rabbit

Life is a pain in the ass
