Carole King - One Was Johnny lyrics

(One was Johnny) One was Johnny who lived by himself Two was a rat who jumped on his shelf Three was a cat who chased the rat Four was a dog who came in and sat Five was a turtle who bit the dog's tail Six was a monkey who brought in the mail Seven a blackbird pecked poor Johnny's nose (One was Johnny) Eight was a tiger out selling old clothes Nine was a robber who took an old shoe Ten was a puzzle, what should Johnny do (One was Johnny) He stood on a chair and said, Here's what I'll do, I'll start to Count backwards And when I am through If this house isn't empty, I'll eat All of you! Nine was the robber who left looking pale Eight was the tiger who chased him to jail Seven was the blackbird flew off to Havana Six was the monkey who stole the banana Five was the turtle who crawled off to bed Four was the dog who slid home on a sled (One was Johnny) Three was the cat who pounced on the rat Two was the rat who left with the cat (One was Johnny, one was Johnny, One was Johnny) One was Johnny who lived by himself And liked it like that! (One was Johnny, one was Johnny)
