When I was a young boy

I thought I had that touch

I wanted to play the guitar so much

Now I'm a man and I got me one



Now I'm a-playin' playin' son of a gun

They call me Johnny Guitar

They call me Johnny Guitar

They call me Johnny Guitar

I'm comin' to play in your town



Gonna play some blues, gonna play some rock'n'roll

And try to upset all the pretty girls so

I'm gonna play some slow and play some fast

I'm gonna have a ball as long as it lasts



They call me Johnny Guitar

They call me Johnny Guitar

They call me Johnny Guitar

I'm comin' to play in your town



[Instrumental]



You can get a girl and hold her close to you

But you'd better get her before I do

We're gonna have some fun before we're through

I'm playin' my guitar especially just for you



They call me Johnny Guitar

They call me Johnny Guitar

They call me Johnny Guitar

I'm comin' to play in your town
