The boy next door you've known for years Has up and made the headlines The front page read he lost his head There'd be nothing like this in a long time No no now child they must be wrong All his neighbours say Johnny was a good boy Did what he should boy Just wouldn't act that way Yes they say he was everybody's friend But now they put him away and say he just may do it again They interviewed the folks he knew For some dumb reason why (Johnny was a good boy) Asked his mom where she went wrong She'll say god knows I've tried (Johnny was a good boy) Good plain boy would just go bad one day He said he couldn't help himself But police suspect foul play So now they put him away they say he's not a normal man You never can tell, but well they say he may do it again Animals all loved him And he had a way with kids It was quite a shock to them When they found out what he did So now they put him away they say he's not a normal man You never can tell, but well they say he may do it again
