John’s got Mary in a dream home

Mortgage, babies, and a puppy or two

Under skies so blue

He thinks he's found his whoop-a-doo

 

Work and fun-time make you run time

Wears you through and through

Where’d your years go runnin’ to?

One fine day… your mind strays where it oughtn’t go to

And Little John shouts, ‘Hey, let me go, too!’

Down to whoop-a-doo

 

Your head’s a mess

Boss yells, ‘You’re through!’

Money’s tight

You’re down and out and screwed

What will ole Johnny do?

 

The choice you make, the things you do

Mary’s gone, John is blue

It’s true – in his little whoop-a-doo

John is you – in your little whoop-a-doo

 

You’re running fast

Aww Aww, life is faster

You chase the night, lose the ‘ever after’

So true

When you live for whoop-a-doo

 

One fine day… your mind strays in ways minds ought not do

And Little John sings, ‘Hey, I’m going too!’

Get me some whoop-a-doo

 

Two eyes red

Noon cracks hard

Bed is strange

Last night’s so far d-own the line

You had to leave that town behind

 

The choice you make, the things you do

One is good, you take quite a few

Now it’s you – in your little whoop-a-doo

Pal, it’s you – in your little whoop-a-doo

 

The choice you make, the things you do

It’s you – in your little whoop-a-doo

Just you – in your little whoop-a-doo
