Johnny’s Place 

Verse 1  

Grey haired hippy in a younger crowd

soaks up energy in a cosmic cloud    

still wears pony tail at sixty-five 

sucks in feeling of being alive

always shows a friendly face

living down at Johnny’s place

 

Verse 2 

Pink hair DJ mixing her grooves 

eyes on stilts, sideways moves, 

electro, techno funky beat         

kisses the floor with synchro feet 

glide in patterns with perfect grace

striding out at Johnny’s place

 

Chorus

With an ice-cold beer, I’m on the move

no need to hurry, go catch the vibe.

Time to chill, fit the groove

Look here’s the party tribe

I want to feel some pounding bass

I’m on the beach at Johnny’s place   

 

Instrumental

 

Verse 3

Pelican dude with eyes transfixed 

on rainbow school of pretty fish

magnetised in a flowing jive

smooth talking, he’s ready to dive

a labyrinth of Chantilly lace

easy fishing down at Johnny’s place

 

Verse 4

Spider Girl on the hunt for prey 

a young guy dances blindly 

she’s a Golden Orb with a web to spin 

slowly, she closes in  

here’s her dinner on a plate

something tasty at Johnny’s place

 

Chorus

With an ice-cold beer, I’m on the move

no need to hurry, go catch the vibe.

Time to chill, fit the groove

Look here’s the party tribe

I want to feel some pounding bass

I’m on the beach at Johnny’s place   

 

Instrumental

 

Verse 5

Full moon rising streaming light,

on a tapestry of faces

bold tattoos and sparkly vests

sky high fever, pulsing chests

floating shadows to embrace    

high on energy at Johnny’s place

 

Bridge   

Waves of elation fill the street 

beating bodies, free flowing heat

splashing colours, distorted voices  

flashes of neon lightning

feel like i’m speeding into outer space

its red hot down at Johnny’s place

 

Chorus & Outro Jam
