Though le loved to rock and roll |
|
All these many years |
|
He cared about the old people's |
|
And little children's ears |
|
Though he was a guitar man |
|
He reflected and he vowed |
|
Never will i ever be |
|
No ne'er, ne'er again |
|
The man who was too loud |
|
Johnny's not a poor man |
|
No, he never gets him down |
|
Now that he is free he is not proud |
|
He don't need the power |
|
Just to make a sound |
|
He is not the man that he used to be |
|
Oh, no, the man who was too loud |
|
I will play softly |
|
I will play softly |
|
I will play softly now |
|
'cause i was the man who was too loud |
|
It's not because he don't respect |
|
The popular music style |
|
You know i saw him open up |
|
For the kind of the surf guitar |
|
Do not think he does not like |
|
The cheering of the crowd |
|
No, he is glad that they came to see |
|
The man who used to be |
|
The man who was too loud |
|
Johnny is a rich man |
|
Yeah, he still gets around |
|
He is glad to be the car who meowed |
|
He don't need the power |
|
Just to get his sound |
|
He is not the man that he used to be |
|
Oh no, the man who was too loud |
|
I will play softly |
|
I will play softly |
|
I will play softly now |
|
'cause i was the man who was too loud |
