Five Little Johnson Girls
The Stoneman Family
Capo 1
[Chorus]
D A7
Five heads of golden hair
D
Blue eyes flashing everywhere
G
The prettiest girls in all of the world
D A7 D
Are the five little Johnson Girls
(Change Key To A)
A E A
Now old man Johnson is mean as a snake
D A E
With a face like a bulldog, a body like an ape
A E A
I'll never understand it, but he is the pa
D A E A
Of the prettiest daughters that I ever saw
A E A
Their ages are nineteen through twenty three
D A E
The fairest of flowers that you'll ever see
A E A
I asked old man Johnson if I could have one
D A E A
But that nasty old rascal would go for his gun

I dreamed of a space flight to far distant worlds,
D A E
And on board my space ship the five Johnson girls
A E A
I soared 'thru the heavens as big as you please
D A E A
With five little darlings all crazy about me
A E A
I said old man Johnson would never find us here
D A E
And then on the huge screen a monster appeared
A E A
With a face like a bulldog, a body like an ape
D A E A
I told them goodbye said I'd rather be awake
