The Last Gig Of Johnny B. Goode Lyrics - Leo Sayer

He pleads with his manager 

There seems no way out 

Have one last cigarette 

No time to put it out 

He's quitting this time for good 

This is the last gig with Johnny B. Goode 

Now the pressure's really on 

Black limousines close in 

His hotel suite is really neat 

But the flight nearly did him in 

A telegram said break a leg 

And the doctor says he's broken his head 

Set up the amps and play it loud 

So no one will hear the words 

A good job, they wouldn't wanna hang around 

But set up the lights but keep 'em dim 

So no one will see him in the state that he's in 

Ladies and gentlemen 

Very last time will you welcome 

The man who if he could help it 

Would not be here tonight 

The man who has nothing, nothing left to prove 

Bye bye Johnny B. Goode 

Now the agent's looking restless 

He says this house is awful bad 

He said we should have booked the audience 

Rather than booked the band 

He's quitting this tour for good 

'Cause they won't turn up for Johnny B. Goode 

Yeah, set up the amps and play it loud 

So no one can hear the words 

Good job, they wouldn't wanna hang around 

Bye bye Johnny B. Goode, oh, bye bye Johnny 

Bye bye Johnny B. Goode 

Bye bye Johnny B. Goode, oh, bye bye Johnny 

Yeah, bye bye Johnny B. Goode 

Oh, bye bye Johnny 

Bye bye Johnny B. Goode, bye bye Johnny 

Bye bye Johnny B. Goode
