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

Leo Sayer & Frank Farrell 

he pleads to his manager 

there just seems to be 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 for johnny b. goode 

and 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 

but the doctor says he's broken his head 

set up the amps 

play it loud 

so no one can hear the words 

good job 

they wouldn't wanna hang around 

set up the ligths 

but keep em dim 

so no one will see him in 

the state that he's in 

ladies and gentlemen 

will you welcome for the last time 

a man who if he could help it 

would not be here tonight 

the man who has nothing left to prove 

bye bye johnny b. goode 

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 time for good 

because they won't turn up for johnny b. goode
