Lyrics - Johnny Z (Is A Real Cool Guy)

Johnny Z (Is A Real Cool Guy)
(Written by John Zambetti and Walter Egan, B-Side to "Baby Let's Run Away")

Hey!

Hey, have you heard a tale of a boy called Johnny?
He’s downright cool and he never feels funny
Yeah, but he’ll keep you in stitches at the drop of a hat
If you’re feelin’ lost, he’ll show you where you’re at

He’s a friend of mine, now don’t you see
Well I’m talkin’ ‘bout the boy they call Johnny Z

Johnny Z is a real cool guy
Just like a Pepsi and a pizza pie
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)

He’s as cool as a moose
And you know I’m not lyin’
Cause he tops Donald Duck
And himself without tryin’

He’s spreadin’ the legend
Up and down the land
When he makes lasagna
For your rock ‘n’ roll band

I remember the day
He became an M.D.
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the boy
They call Johnny Z

Johnny Z is a real cool cat
Just like a new glove and a baseball bat
Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
Yeah

Hey Johnny Z is a real cool guy
(Real cool guy)
Just like some ketchup on your hot French fry
Johnny Z is a real cool cat
Just like a new glove and a baseball bat
Johnny Z is a real cool guy-uy-uy
Just like some Pepsi and a pizza pie

Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
Oh well he’s so cool
(Johnny Z’s a cool guy)
He’s a cool guy…



I’m not entirely sure about these lyrics. Also, Walter starts talking near the end and I can’t quite make out exactly what he’s saying, so I didn’t include that part. But you get the idea. This song was the B-side to “Baby Let’s Run Away” and as far as I know has never been made available on compact disc.
