[Verse 1]
I had a dream I was down at Jojo's
Havin’ a burger 'neath the setting sun
Johnny was sitting in the corner
Sippin' on a glass of Depaz Rhum
He was checking out all of the tombstones
’Cross the cemetery in Lorient
The stage was hung, the soundcheck done
He was ready for everyone
[Verse 2]
He strummed a guitar made of orchids
And the who's who all were there
Bill Haley, Carl Perkins, not to mention Buddy Holly
Plus a couple of Jordanaires
Colonel Parker was lurking on a nearby beach
With a contract full of deceit
But Johnny took the stage and tore up every page
And the crowd flew out of their seats
[Chorus]
Johnny Hallyday, leap and the net will appear
There's no other way you ever could have wound up here
All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets
And the things that the people say
You were more than just the French Elvis
You was Johnny Hallyday
I had a dream I was down at Jojo's
Havin’ a burger 'neath the setting sun
Johnny was sitting in the corner
Sippin' on a glass of Depaz Rhum
He was checking out all of the tombstones
’Cross the cemetery in Lorient
The stage was hung, the soundcheck done
He was ready for everyone
[Verse 2]
He strummed a guitar made of orchids
And the who's who all were there
Bill Haley, Carl Perkins, not to mention Buddy Holly
Plus a couple of Jordanaires
Colonel Parker was lurking on a nearby beach
With a contract full of deceit
But Johnny took the stage and tore up every page
And the crowd flew out of their seats
[Chorus]
Johnny Hallyday, leap and the net will appear
There's no other way you ever could have wound up here
All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets
And the things that the people say
You were more than just the French Elvis
You was Johnny Hallyday
