when big apple shines like a diamond
with millions of electric lights
in the crowded streets you'd meet him
one kind of a guy

his color-mocha suit is perfect
his brilliantined hairs a'glow
and he just loves to roam the city
with the friends or on his own

and anyone from queens to brooklyn bridge would tell you
who is the best in dancing twist and rock'n'roll
who plays his guitar like nobody in the world does
everyone knows him
everyone knows him
who else but johnny

you could meet him on the broadway
or in the shade of central park
and on the biggest party you would 
surely see him rock [bad word] to watch the game of yankees
guess who's there in legends suite
with the prettiest of ladies 
our johnny's looking good
