Johnny Was Good Boy:The Mystery Trend. Rare Garage Band on VERVE Records in 1967. (Odd but catchy.) #1. The boy next door you've known for years has up and made the headlines. The front page read he lost his head, there'd be nothing like this in a long time. #2. No, no, now, child, they must be wrong, all his neighbours say. Johnny was a good boy, did what he should, boy. Just wouldn't act that way. Yes, they say he was everybody's friend. But, now they put him away and say he just may do it again. #3. They interviewed the folks he knew, for some dumb reason, why..(Johnny was a good boy.) Asked his mom where she went wrong, she'll say, God knows I've tried..(Johnny was a good boy.) #4. Good plain boy would just go bad one day. He said, he couldn't help himself..but police suspect foul play. INTERLUDE: #5. So, now they put him away, they say he's not a normal man. You never can tell, but well, they say he may do it again. Animals all loved him and he had a way with kids. (Johnny was a good boy.) It was quite a shock to them when they found out what he did. (Johnny was a good boy.) So, now they put him away, they say he's not a normal man. You never can tell, but well, they say he may do it again. ... ...(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
