Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming Johnny Jones acordou um dia de sonho Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan Disse Bill o baixo e logo eles tinham um plano He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny Ele passou para Pete and Crazy Benny Ah, suddenly they had a band Ah, suddenly they had a band Ah, de repente, eles tinham uma banda Hey Johnny's Band Hey Johnny's Band Hey banda de Johnny He sure knew how to work up a crowd He sure knew how to work up a crowd Ele com certeza sabia como trabalhar-se uma multidão The sound that they made put the rest in the shade The sound that they made put the rest in the shade O som que eles fizeram colocar o resto na sombra And the word soon got around And the word soon got around E a palavra logo se espalhou They played every dance hall in the city They played every dance hall in the city Eles tocaram todos os salão de dança na cidade Wrote themselves a cool forty-five Wrote themselves a cool forty-five Escreveu-se um fresco de quarenta e cinco With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops Com uma bala que disparou para o topo dos pops Oh man it was good to be alive Oh man it was good to be alive Oh homem que era bom estar vivo Hail Johnny's Band Hail Johnny's Band Hail banda de Johnny Hear them on the radio Hear them on the radio Ouvi-los no rádio Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash Esmagar depois de esmagar agora eles estão rolando no dinheiro Whatever they touch turns to gold Whatever they touch turns to gold Tudo o que tocam vira ouro Benny went down with the hard stuff Benny went down with the hard stuff Benny desceu com o material duro And Pete joined a cult in LA And Pete joined a cult in LA E Pete se juntou a um culto em LA Johnny and Bill started going downhill Johnny and Bill started going downhill Johnny e Bill começou a ir ladeira abaixo And the crowds began melting away And the crowds began melting away E as multidões começaram a derreter But hey, it's Johnny's Band But hey, it's Johnny's Band Mas hey, da banda de Johnny Playing Saturday nights at The Crown Playing Saturday nights at The Crown Jogando noites de sábado no The Crown The beards may be long and the money's long gone The beards may be long and the money's long gone As barbas pode ser longo e que o dinheiro está muito longe It's a wonder that they're still around It's a wonder that they're still around É uma maravilha que ainda está por perto But hey, it's Johnny's Band But hey, it's Johnny's Band Mas hey, da banda de Johnny Playing all those wonderful songs Playing all those wonderful songs Jogando todas essas músicas maravilhosas Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound Fazendo as rondas com que o som à moda antiga And here we are singing along And here we are singing along E aqui estamos cantando junto
