[Intro]
[Verse]
To sprogs in shorts it was a beast
When first we glimpsed the OMA
Marriage in Hell this weapon feast
By seven hopscotch squares outlayed
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Verse]
Where once we mooned to halt a train
This GI tool would tilt the scale
A rocket for a colt our gain
H**g up the holster without fail
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Break]
[Verse]
The joy of joss-sticks and false steeds
Of cowboy hats and fine feathers
Gave way to plastic power that feeds
Adventure with Tonka-treasures
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Verse]
Our army could but one afford
And owned by him with conditions
To lead us all as Chief and Lord
Milksops with meagre munitions
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Verse]
And so our firepower was cut short
Mutiny in the ranks ensued
Some launched loose gravel at his porch
Rebuked his mum for acts quite rude
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Break]
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Chorus]
Give me life and a Johnny Seven
Friendship charged in childhood Heaven
[Outro]
