I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny 

Cause Sentimental Johnny is your man 

Sunshine or rain, the man's on his game 

The Chairman of the boards 

He said Jesus, he walks on water 

Not like us, he must have been sober 

Marching away, on top of his lake 

The Savior of all souls



Leave me to die in the wreckage 

As soon as it burns, I'll be gone 

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?) 

To take in all I can (once more!) 

To take in all I can (once more!)



Well it was back in good ol' 57 

When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis 

Rockin' on sun 

Where it all begun 

A story yet to end 

And by this time, we're drinkin' up a fever 

And in me, he has a true believer 

If only I could, just for one word 

To live it all again



Leave me to die in the wreckage 

As soon as it burns, I'll be gone 

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?) 

To take in all I can (once more!) 

To take in all I can (once more!)



Rio, why don't you meet me down in Rio: again 

Down in Rio, the carnival it never ends 

Down in Rio, we'll find a perfect world in Rio: again 

Down in Rio, where the women still love their men



Well Johnny, it's two in the mornin' 

Don't you think, it's time we should go 

Back to our millions of records we love 

Back to our sad little homes 

That was the last time I saw him 

Never, no never no more 

I wonder did Jesus, came to redeem him 

Save poor Johnny's ol' soul 

I wonder did Jesus, come to redeem him 

Save poor Johnny's ol' soul



Leave me to die in the wreckage 

As soon as it burns, I'll be gone 

I'm goin' back to Sentimental Johnny (what for?)

To take in all I can (once more!)

To take in all I can (once more!)
