Lyrics
0:12Football baseball basketball games
0:15Drinkin' beer kickin' a** and takin' down names
0:18With the top down get-a-round shootin' the line
0:21Summer is here and Johnny's feelin' fine
0:24But Johnny can't read
0:27Summer is over and he's gone to seed
0:30You know the Johnny can't read
0:33You never learned nothin' that he'll ever need
0:36Well Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
0:40Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
0:43Johnny can hang out; Johnny can talk tough
0:46Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up
0:49But Johnny can't read
0:52Summer is over and he's gone to seed
0:54You know that Johnny can't read
0:58Never learned nothin' that he'll ever need
1:00Well is it Teacher's fault Oh No
1:03Is it Mommy's fault Oh No
1:06Is it society's fault Oh No
1:09Well is it Johnny's fault OH No
1:28Couple years later Johnny's on the run
1:30Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun
1:33Well he went and did something
1:35That he shouldn't oughta done
1:37F B I on his tail
1:38"Use A Gun Go To Jail"
1:40But Johnny can't read
1:43Summer is over and he's gone to seed
1:45You know that Johnny can't read
1:49He never learned nothin' that he'll ever need
1:51Well is is Teacher's fault Oh No
1:55Is it Mommie's fault Oh No
1:58Is it the President's fault Oh No
2:00Well is it Johnny's fault OH No
2:19Johnny can dance and Johnny can love
2:22Johnny can push and Johnny can shove
2:25Johnny can pinball; Johnny can talk tough
2:28Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up
2:31Johnny can't read
2:37Johnny can't read
2:43Well recess is over
2:49Recess is over
2:55Sitcoms "T and A "
2:57Johnny's mind is blown away
2:58Cop shows horror flicks
3:00Johnny's brain is full of bricks
3:01Rock show Video
3:03Boob tube Rubik's cube
3:04Game fools Sunday school
3:06Gain fans Gobble gangs
3:07Wonka wonka wonka
3:19There's a new kid in town
