honest john - johnny macrae lyrics

[verse 1]
i was watching television one sunday afternoon
commercial came on and i got up to leave the room
some cat started shouting ’bout the place to buy a car
then i heard him shout, “don’t leave the room, stay where you are”
you won’t believe your eyes at the buys you can get from honest john
honest john

[verse 2]
well, here’s a 1957 cadillac
radio, heater, [?] speaker in the back
as a television special, you can buy this car today
for just 500 bucks; “no money down, ten years to pay”
that’s the one for me, so i rushed down to see old honest john
honest john

[bridge]
he was a*wheeling and a*dealing (honest john)
smiling and a*stealing (honest john)
handshaking joke, make a back*slapping horse
laughing made it so appealing (honest john)
he made you think you had a steal
an unbelieveable deal with honest john
honest john

[verse 3]
well only five minutes later, i drove into his place
and there was honest john with a smile upon his face
i said to see that cadillac he advertised today
he said, “i’m very sorry pal, it’s just been sold, just drove away”
but we can make you a deal that’s a steal, come along with honest john
honest john
[verse 4]
now, out here in my driveway sits my brand new cadillac
but my television set is gone, they came and took it back
they repossess my furniture and life sure ain’t no joke
’cause i’m getting mighty sick of eating beans and being broke
so believe me when i say, “if you buy, better pay old honest john”
honest john

[outro]
the moral of it all is this: don’t ever be so dumb
as to have a champagne diet when you have a beer income
honest john (you better pay that man)
honest john (yeah, he’ll put the bad mouth on you)
honest john (yeah, he’s a meanie)
honest john…
