John and Jonathan
Are on the town
John and Jonathan
They go up, they go down
At the Bowery
In line, they wait
They will stay all night
Then wake at 8

John and Jonathan
Are at the café
Jon likes coffee black
And John au lait
Making good decisions
They must have taste
They stand by their choices
They stand their favs

But how will I know if they care for me?
Do I believe what they say?
When I'm on stage, they all cheer for me
I must soak up the praise
And save it for a rainy day

Dear John and Jonathan
Who am I to you?
Dear John and Jonathan
Je ne sais pas

John and Jonathan
Are on the town
John and Jonathan
They go up, they go down
At the Bowery
In line, they wait
They will stay all night
Then wake at 8

But how will I know if they care for me?
Do I believe what they say?
When I'm on stage, they all cheer for me
I must soak up the praise
And save it for a rainy day
