   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
  
   Johnny was an angel
   An angel dressed in black
   He used to hang around the guys
   Down at the local track
   He tried so hard to join them
   But they always turned him back
  
   Johnny don't do it
   He was an angel
   Johnny don't do it
   Such an angel
  
   He was only 17
   Just got out of school
   He stole a bike from Joe's garage
   To prove that he was cool
   He didn't know that the brakes were worn
   And fate can be so cruel
  
   Johnny don't do it
   He was an angel
   Johnny don't do it
   Such an angel
  
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
  
   Well Johnny went a riding
   With his girlfriend on the back seat
   Looking for some action
   And they found it down a back street
   Suddenly a truck pulled out
   He tried to step on the brake
  
   Johnny don't do it (Here is a news flash)
   Johnny don't do it (Today, Johnny Kowalski, also known as Johnny Angel)
   Johnny don't do it (and his young fiance Francine, were tragically killed)
   Johnny don't do it (in a cycle accident)
   Don't do it, don't do it (any witnesses please contact)
   Don't do it, don't do it (the police at Precinct 29)
  
   Now Johnny's with the angels
   The angels in the sky
   I wonder if he thinks of us
   As he goes riding by
   If only had listened
   Oh the number of times we tried
   To tell him
  
   Johnny don't do it
   He was an angel
   Johnny don't do it
   Such an angel
   Johnny don't do it
   He was an angel
   Johnny don't do it
   Such an angel
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
   Johnny don't do it
