lyrics

Johnny Briggs goes down the corner shop,
Pulls a gun and asks for cigarettes.
The man he asks, hey, do you want my money?
Johnny Briggs said I'l take what I get.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
Johnny was walking pockets feeling heavy,
saw some ladies standing down town and they said
hey Johnny would you like to party,
He said I would sure like to go down.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
The party was swinging people were dancing,
Johnny Briggs was laying on the floor.
The party halted, people were screaming.
The Police had broken down the door.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
Johnny got up smiled politely,
do you want to take me for a ride.
I am willing more that able,
can't you see I've got my gun by my side.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
The policeman moved, Johnny's hand was twitching.
You could cut the tension with a knife.
His gun came out, Johnny was smiling,
I've been waiting for this all of my live.
And they said come on , come on , come on do it Johnny,
Come and do what comes naturally.
Come on, come on, come on do it Johnny,
It;s as easy as a 1, 2, 3.
