When I was a young boy
I thought I had that touch
I wanted to play the guitar so much
Now I'm a man and I got me one

Now I'm a-playin' playin' son of a gun
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm comin' to play in your town

Gonna play some blues, gonna play some rock'n'roll
And try to upset all the pretty girls so
I'm gonna play some slow and play some fast
I'm gonna have a ball as long as it lasts

They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm comin' to play in your town

[Instrumental]

You can get a girl and hold her close to you
But you'd better get her before I do
We're gonna have some fun before we're through
I'm playin' my guitar especially just for you

They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
They call me Johnny Guitar
I'm comin' to play in your town
