Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call 
United we stand, divided we fall 
Together we are what we can't be alone 
We came to this country you made it our home 

This man so humble, this man so brave 
A legend to many, he fought to his grave 
Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror 
In a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow 

Say Johnny me boy this ones for you 
With the strength of many and the courage of few 
To what do we owe this man whose fight 
Was for the masses, he gave his life 

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call 
United we stand, divided we fall 
Together we are what we can't be alone 
We came to this country you made it our home 

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime 
He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time 
He wasn't a crook but he couldn't be conned 
John knew the difference between right and wrong 

Say Johnny me boy, you live hear no longer 
Others forgotten, your memory's stronger 
Lets drink to the causes in your life 
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife 

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call 
United we stand, divided we fall 
Together we are what we can't be alone 
We came to this country you made it our home 

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call 
United we stand, divided we fall 
Together we are what we can't be alone 
We came to this country you made it our home 

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure 
When they came to this country he opened the door 
He said men I'll tell ya they don't like our kind 
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind 

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call 
United we stand, divided we fall 
Together we are what we can't be alone 
We came to this country you made it our home 
Ho..ho..ho..home
