Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x 4
Looking  for trouble cruising down on King’s Road
 Can’t stand the tourists strolling a la mode
 When I am on the street everyone knows
Johnny  Johnny Johnny Johnny
 Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny  B. Rotten tonight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 You don’t want to get in a fight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 x 2
The fans  go wild, they really get out of hand
 They have to touch me ’cos my record’s been banned
 They think I’m crazy so I tell them, “I am!”
Johnny  Johnny Johnny Johnny
 Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny  B. Rotten tonight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 You don’t want to get in a fight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
I’m something  else in the clothes I wear
 The papers quote me when I swear
 It’s all a lie, but I don’t care
Johnny  Johnny Johnny Johnny
 Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny  B. Rotten tonight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 You don’t want to get in a fight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 Johnny Johnny Go
 Johnny Johnny Go
 Go Johnny Go Johnny Go Go Go Go!
I’ll  catch  them pretties wif a flash of my teef
 They love to show my what they’ve got underneef
 I say, “Now come back, spend the nighttime with me
 I’ve got a little place just southwest of Fleet
 But my life isn’t that secure, don’t you see
 ‘Cos things don’t go the way that they used to be
 Social Security and -o-n-!
Johnny  Johnny Johnny Johnny
 Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny  B. Rotten tonight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 You don’t want to get in a fight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight x 2
 Johnny B. Rotten tonight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 Johnny B. Rotten tonight
 You’d better hold that lid on tight
 Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten tonight...
 Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten, Johnny B. Rotten tonight...
