It Ain't 1918 Lyrics - Sparks

Johnny was a soldier with the Allies 

Johnny was a soldier all the way 

Johnny was a soldier with a fun side 

Johnny liked to laugh a lot each day 

Johnny met a girl who was a beauty 

Johnny never thought to live in sin 

"Do you take this girl?" 

"Yes I take this girl" 

Johnny had a next of kin

They were happy as they were 

So everything around would change 

But they would never, ever change 

It ain't 1918 except for these two-it ain't 1918... 

Everybody in Missouri knows them 

Everybody there has seen their car 

Everybody seen their Stanley Steamer 

Everybody knows It's Johnny's car 

Wave as you see Johnny drive to market 

Watch a bit of past go steaming by 

Johnny and his bride 

Johnny and his car 

without a change of any kind 

And they were happy as they were 

Everything around had changed 

But they had never, ever changed 

It ain't 1918 except for there two-it ain't 1918...

Many people in St. Lou are wealthy 

A lady by the name of Miller is 

Wouldn't it be nice to help out Johnny 

Kinda play a real life Santa Claus 

She and many other St. Lou people 

Bought ol' Johnny quite a fancy car 

And a modern home 

Threw away his comb 

Bought his wife a Paris scarf 

Johnny thanked the St. Lou folk 

But told them in a voice so sad 

That he would rather stay as is 

The people of St. Lou were mad, and they said 

It ain't 1918 for us or for you 

If we can't enjoy it... 

Then neither will you
