My mate Johnny's a looker   His habit is a one night stand   he would walk the streets in the usual way   Oh, what a pretty man   My mate Johnny was a lover   He fell for the girl next door   she said Johnny I can't be with you   You're pretty but you're also a bore   Finding love was not so easy   Cause people thought that he was too peculiar   So what was left for poor old Johnny   At least he found out that Jesus loves ya      Holy   Well he once was a wh*re   Now hes a priest at 24   'Cause he's holy   And he wanted the most   Now he's left with Holy Ghost   I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me   I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me      My mate Johnny's a preacher   He's holy as they come   He says follow the lord and the Lord'll be good   And then he started callin me son      For God was good to poor old Johnny   He hid his life behind the walls of religion   What was left was not so funny   Cause I lost my friend to his new found position      Now hes holy   When he once was a wh*re   Now hes a priest at 24   Cause hes holy   When he wanted the most   Now he's left with Holy Ghost   I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me   I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me   I prayed for johnny but now johnny prays for me
