Johnny Jones was a boy
Who liked girls with raven tresses;
He thought ev’ry girl just
For him was saving yeses.
He figured that the duty
Of each brunette beauty
Was to run to him for neckin’
At his ev’ry bark and beckon.

(refrain)
He said “I will date Rosey, ‘cause Rosey is cozy,
And she’s my fav’rite brunette.”
But Rosey that summer was datin’ the plumber,
She turned out to be all wet.
He said, “I’ll make Rosita, that sweet senorita,
My brand new fav’rite brunette.”
But this hot tamale was flirting
With Charlie by shaking her castanet.

Dark haired Tillie was silly over Willie,
Lily and Billy were kind o’ Jack and Jilly;
So he tried a red-head,
But she was a dead-head,
And what can you do with a blonde?

He tried usin’ his noodle
And bought a black poodle,
His brand new favrite brunette;
But she loves a spaniel, name of Daniel.

That was the payoff,
And so he went way off,
He hasn’t stopped tryin’ yet.
He was last seen in Tibet, you bet,
Chasing another brunette.
