"Just one more puff I’ll be right"
"Girl you look so happy you could be in heaven" “That’s cause I met this boy at the drive-in” “Did he take your hand and walk you to the stars?” “Kinda, we went back to his car” “Did he buy you popcorn and soda pop?” “No but we danced the mashed potato and turned the radio off” “Tell us Margie, tell us the lot”
“My head was spinning I turned real hot”
“He leaned over to kiss me I thought I’d just die”
“I remembered Momma’s homemade apple pie”
“I remembered the first time I tasted it I just cried”
“The same thing has only happened twice”
“Do you swear to the Lord, tell no lie?”
“I swear this boy gave me wings and made me fly”
“What do your folks think of him, did you get a name?” “Ma and Pa don’t like Johnny in any way” “They told me I had to dump him the very next day” “Girl this love is real intense and strange”[Friend 1] “Was he great, did he behave?”[Friend 2] “He was pancakes and lemonade”
[ She looks at the audience with sadness. As she takes another step towards the end of the stage]
In a higher pitch she wails with tears in her eyes.
“But I gave Johnny up don’t ask me why” “Why?” “Why?” “Why” “Ma and Pa won’t buy, buy, buy…” “Why?” “Why?” “Why?”
“I had to choose between my cigarettes and my guy” “I knew it was wrong but I had to win” “Maybe it was wrong, maybe it was right” “Just one more puff I’ll be right” “No more tears to cry” “Another empty wet pack tonight”
“You chose cancer sticks over your one true love?”
[ Both her friends shake their heads in disgust to the audience]
“Johnny was my drizzle of honey, my white dove” “He was hot love gravy in my hot chilli soup” “He was at the drive-in, in his hotted up Ford Coupe” “All the girls would stand and drool” “They wanted to be with Johnny too” “Until my Ma and Pa made me choose” “Between my ciggies and being a love sick fool”
[Main Singer fumbles for another cigarette lighting it before she wails with tears]
“But I gave Johnny up don’t ask me why” “Why?” “Why?” “Why” “Ma and Pa said they wouldn't buy, buy, buy…” “Why?” “Why?” “Why?”
“I had to choose between my cigarettes and my guy” “I knew it was wrong but I had to win” “Maybe it was wrong, maybe it was right” “Just one more puff I’ll be right” “No more tears to cry” “Another empty wet pack tonight”
[Main Singer takes a long drag. Before tossing it to the floor. Stepping on it]
“What did this boy do when you gave him the news” “I told him after I did my make-up and rouge” “My poor Johnny got real angry like cheese slipping off its cracker” “Girl the way you talk of food and boys I’m surprised he didn’t smack ya!”
[Her two friends fold their arms, shaking their heads]
“Johnny wouldn’t do that, we had a connection like cotton candy and apple sauce” “Huh? Are you for real? Your acting like an unhinged door”[Friend 1] “That’s true this boy done you nothing but right” “And all you gave him was a nasty bite”[Friend 2]
“But I gave Johnny up don’t ask me why” “Why?” “Why?” “Why” “Ma and Pa won’t buy, buy, buy…” “Why?” “Why?” “Why?”
“I had to choose between my cigarettes and my guy" “I knew it was wrong but I had to win” “Maybe it was wrong, maybe it was right” “Just one more puff I’ll be right” “No more tears to cry” “Another empty wet pack tonight”
[Main singer tries to light another cigarette, but her lighter wont work]
“Look I will tell him I’m sorry, just give me a light” “You’re doing it after you put that cigarette in your mouth, right?” “Yeh I just need one more drag to get me through” “I wanna make it up to Johnny I need too” “I just can’t believe what you did to him”[Friend 1] “What you did should be a deadly sin”[Friend 2]
It’s not my fault my parents made me dump him” “Now I’m feeling like a Halloween pumpkin”
“But I gave Johnny up don’t ask me why” “Why?” “Why?” “Why” “Ma and Pa won’t buy, buy, buy…” “Why?” “Why?” “Why?”
“I had to choose between my cigarettes and that guy” “I knew it was wrong but I had to win” “Maybe it was wrong, maybe it was right” “Just one more puff I’ll be right” “No more tears to cry” “Another empty wet pack tonight...."
