LYRICS:
johnny is walking
his face turns red
janey is walking
he looks ahead
face turns red
looks ahead
johnny knows that he canโt hesitate
one minute later will be too late
make a date
o johnny donโt you hesitate
conversation begins to drag
johnny is left holding the bag
hold the bagโฆ
riding stagโฆ
