Johnny Tenenbaum is on the lam,
He disappeared from the day of the dead,
My only wish he was home instead.
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Tenenbaum.
Johnny T was a good little kid,
the boys in Texas called him a yid,
it didn't matter what Johnny did.
He might be sitting on a donkey back
Some jelly doughnuts in a hobo sack
Might find a door to a façade unopened
Johnnie Tenenbaum is on the land
Somewhere south of the Rio Grande
He disappeared on the day of the dead
I only wish he was home instead
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
We might be searching for
Lay in a bed on the bough of a tall fir tree
But he can get to spawning
Always been less than fond
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Ten -Five
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
If you see him, say hello
And tell him how we miss him so
From Dusseldorf down to Mexico
How far can our poor boy go?
