Jonny Was, a street walker
He travels light
I say Ooh, you should've seen him
Walked right past ya
You could not believe it
Lyin' on the street corner wearin' next to nothin'
Yet he sports a smile
And all the times
You bow your head and look away
You cross the street, yeah, just to get away
He can't help but feel ashamed cuz
He has got no where to go now
Jonny Was, a street walker, Ooooooh
He moves around
To a new location
Town to town
To find his next vacation
In his ripped up jeans and t-shirt
Pack of smokes on the side
How about a dime
To help him get a bus ride
Maybe a dollar
To help him stay the night
Anywhere but on the cold streets
Not in an alley or the cops beat
Jonny Was
Yeah Jonny Was
Jonny Was a street walker, Ooooooh
