up and running - johnny and marie lyrics

Loading...

this is an everyday story about an everyday couple
it could be you

johnny and marie were soul lovers
a whistle and a smile, and money in his pocket
they were going downtown, gonna shoot the whole world down

johnny was smart, marie was pretty
he was bright, she was witty
they were made for each other
they never needed any other lover

well, johnny hadn’t worked in nearly four years
he was sick of being told to look for a career
finally, a letter came, at the top of the letter was johnny’s name
it said “start on monday,” johnny prayed on sunday

marie said, “go, go, go johnny
show them what you’re made of, johnny
make me proud
johnny, shoot the whole world down.”

marie said, “go, go, go johnny
show them what you’re made of, johnny
make me proud
johnny, shoot the whole world down.”
johnny worked hard and things got better
they had a little girl, they called her rosetta
then along came another, her little baby brother

marie was always good with money
she saved what she could in a jar by the honey
for a holiday, they dreamed of flying away

eventually, when the summer came
after reading all the brochures, they went for spain
finally, the tickets came, and printed on the ticket was johnny’s name
it said “fly on monday,” johnny prayed on sunday

marie said, “go, go, go johnny
show them what you’re made of, johnny
make me proud, johnny
shoot the whole world down.”

marie said, “go, go, go johnny
show them what you’re made of, johnny
make me proud, johnny
shoot the whole world down.”

well, the years went by, they had a happy life
little johnny junior found himself a wife
johnny and marie were proud to say
the bride looked a picture on her wedding day
they got wed on sat+rday, johnny prayed on sunday

marie said, “go, go, go johnny
show them what you’re made of, johnny
make me proud
johnny, shoot the whole world down.”

marie said, “go, go, go johnny
show them what you’re made of, johnny
make me proud
johnny, shoot the whole world down.”
