Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny was an angel 
An angel dressed in black 
He used to hang around the guys 
Down at the local track 
He tried so hard to join them 
But they always turned him back 
Johnny don't do it 
He was an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
Such an angel 
He was only 17 
Just got out of school 
He stole a bike from Joe's garage 
To prove that he was cool 
He didn't know that the brakes were worn 
And fate can be so cruel 
Johnny don't do it 
He was an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
Such an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Well Johnny went a riding 
With his girlfriend on the back seat 
Looking for some action 
And they found it down a back street 
Suddenly a truck pulled out 
He tried to step on the brake 
Johnny don't do it (Here is a news flash) 
Johnny don't do it (Today, Johnny Kowalski, also known as Johnny Angel) 
Johnny don't do it (and his young fiance Francine, were tragically killed)
Johnny don't do it (in a cycle accident) 
Don't do it, don't do it (any witnesses please contact) 
Don't do it, don't do it (the police at Precinct 29) 
Now Johnny's with the angels 
The angels in the sky 
I wonder if he thinks of us 
As he goes riding by 
If only had listened 
Oh the number of times we tried 
To tell him 
Johnny don't do it 
He was an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
Such an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
He was an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
Such an angel 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it 
Johnny don't do it
