One Was Johnny Lyrics - Really Rosie - Carole King

One was Johnny 

(One was Johnny) 

1 was Johnny who lived by himself 

2 was a rat who jumped on his shelf 

3 was a cat who chased the rat 

4 was a dog who came in and sat 

5 was a turtle who bit the dog's tail 

6 was a monkey who brought in the mail 

7 a blackbird pecked poor Johnny's nose 

(One was Johnny) 

8 was a tiger out selling old clothes 

9 was a robber who took an old shoe 

10 was a puzzle--what should Johnny do

(One was Johnny) 

He stood on a chair and said, 

Here's what I'll do--I'll start to 

Count backwards 

And when I am through 

If this house isn't empty, I'll eat 

All of you! 

9 was the robber who left looking pale 

8 was the tiger who chased him to jail 

7 was the blackbird flew off to Havana 

6 was the monkey who stole the banana 

5 was the turtle who crawled off to bed 

4 was the dog who slid home on a sled 

(One was Johnny) 

3 was the cat who pounced on the rat 

2 was the rat who left with the cat

And liked it like that!
