When I find myself with writer’s block, the bartender Lloyd says to me,
speaking words of wisdom, kill with glee.
Overlook hotel in winter makes me lose my sanity,
Got an ax I’m wielding, here’s Johnny.

Here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny
Got an ax I’m wielding, here’s Johnny.

Redrum is what Danny’s yelling, elevator’s all bloody,
A voice inside my head says, kill with glee,
I type “all work and no play…” thousand pages worth ‘til Wendy sees,
Now she’s in the bathroom, here’s Johnny.

Here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny
Crazy grin on my face, here’s Johnny.

And when the night is snowy, Danny’s running fast away from me,
Hide but soon it’s you I’ll kill with glee,
I get lost and I freeze to death, then Danny turns on the TV
He tunes in the Tonight Show, Here’s Johnny.

Here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny, here’s Johnny
No end to Kubrick’s nightmare, here’s Johnny.
