His clothes were kind'a weird, no not the finest cloth.
Preached a mighty sermon with a radical twist,
dipped 'em into water, that was John the Baptist.
His mother, Liz, she said that he would light the way,
for his cousin who's the son of Joseph and Mary.
Go go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, prepare the way.
Used to preach all of his sermons by the river's side.
Lived on bugs and honey they were raw, not fried.
Said we had to ask God to forgive our sin,
when underneath the water he would dip you in.
One day Jesus asked him just to do the same,
even though poor Johnny thought that this was really lame.
Go go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, prepare the way.
(Instrumental)
One day Herod's lover she was quite irate,
She wanted Johnny's head upon a silver plate.
Guess she really wanted this one wish fulfilled,
So Herod told her yes and he had Johnny killed.
Still it didn't matter, John had done his job,
and now he's up in heaven right alongside God.
Go go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, go Johnny go,
Go, prepare the way.
