When big apple shines like a diamond
With millions of electric lights
In the crowded streets you’d meet him
One kind of a guy

His color-mocha suit is perfect
His brilliantined hair’s a glow
And he just loves to roam the city
With the friends or on his own

And anyone from queens to brooklyn bridge would tell you
Who is the best in dancing twist and rock’n’roll
Who plays his guitar like n0body in the world does
Everyone knows him
Everyone knows him

Who else but johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Who hadn’t heard his name

Johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
The naive from New York
If you meet him on the broadway
Or in the shade of central park
And on the biggest party you’d
Surely see him rock

Come to watch the game of yankees
Guess who’s there in legends suite
With the prettiest of ladies
Our johnny’s looking good

And anyone from queens to brooklyn bridge would tell you
Who is the best in dancing twist and rock’n’roll
Who plays his guitar like n0body in the world does
Everyone knows him
Everyone knows him

Who else but johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Who hadn’t heard his name

Johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
The naive from New York
And anyone from queens to brooklyn bridge would tell you
Who is the best in dancing twist and rock’n’roll
Who plays his guitar like n0body in the world does
Everyone knows him
Everyone knows him

Who else but johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Who hadn’t heard his name

Johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
Wa ba ba duba johnny
The naive from New York
