Dry your eyes my little friend Let me take you by the hand Freddie get ready Rock steady When Johnny strikes up the band

They'll be rocking in the projects Walking down along the strand Freddie get ready Rock steady When Johnny strikes up the band Johnny strikes up the band When Johnny strikes up the ... When Johnny strikes up the ... When Johnny strikes up the band

And Johnny is my main man He's the keeper of the keys He'll put your mind at ease He's guaranteed to please Back by popular demand

Look around, my little friend Jubilation in the land Freddie get ready Rock steady When Johnny strikes up the band Johnny strikes up the band When Johnny strikes up the ... When Johnny strikes up the ... When Johnny strikes up the band
