Ruth Wallis - Johnny Has a Yo-Yo lyrics



Johnnie's got a yo-yo
He got it from his dad.
He always lets me play with it
It's the best toy I ever had.
He never lends it out to any other kid in town
Cause I'm the only one who knows how to get it up
and down.
(I'm older than the other kids and I have been around...)

Johnnie's got a yo-yo
It really is a wow
Teacher keeps him after school
So he can show her how.
It's shiny and he says it is brand new-ew
And he can do more tricks with it than his dad can
do-oo.
You can't learn to play with it just by wishin',
You gotta know how to hold it in the right position
By intuition...

Johnnie's got a yo-yo
And all the kids they say
If his dad finds out I play with it
There'll be hell to pay.
Jacks and immies don't int'rest me
Any longer, I confess
Since I play with Johnnie's yo-yo
I'm spoiled a bit, I guess.

I'm sure I could be happy
And life would be divine
If i knew that Johnnie's yo-yo
Were mine, all mine.
I told him I would buy it no matter what the cost
But Johnnie says without his yo-yo he'd be lost
(And I believe it!)

Y is for Yesterday I had it
O is for the way I feel today
Y is for youth, forever at it
O means only that it's here to stay
Y stands for 'oh Yer fadder's mustache
O means only that here comes the end.
Put them all together, they spell YO-YO
Believe me, that toy's a boy's best friend.
