The Savior of all souls"
Leave me to die in the wreckage
I wonder did Jesus come to redeem him
He said, "Jesus, he walks on water
As soon as it burns, I’ll be gone
I’m goin’ back to sentimental Johnny
Don’t you think, it’s time we should go
To take in all I can, to take in all I can
And in me, he has a true believer
A story yet to end
Leave me to die in the wreckage
As soon as it burns, I’ll be gone
To take in all I can, to take in all I can
That was the last time I saw him
And by this time, we’re drinkin’ up the fever
Down in Rio, the carnival, it never ends
Rio, why don’t you meet me down in Rio again
Marching away on top of his lake
Leave me to die in the wreckage
Not like us, he must have been sober
To take in all I can
I’m goin’ back to sentimental Johnny
Rockin’ on sun where it all begun
Never, no, never, no more
Once more
Back to our sad little homes
Back to our millions of records we love
When Johnny met Elvis in Memphis
Save poor Johnny’s ol’ soul
To live it all again
Well Johnny, it’s two in the mornin’
Down in Rio, where the women still love their men
To take in all I can, to take in all I can
As soon as it burns, I’ll be gone
Sunshine or rain, the man’s on his game
If only I could, just for one word
I’m goin’ back to sentimental Johnny
Down in Rio, we’ll find a perfect world in Rio again
I wonder did Jesus come to redeem him
Well, it was back in good ol’ 57
Save poor Johnny’s ol’ soul
The chairman of the boards
