Intro
Verse 1
I Had Just Turned Sixteen That Season, When You Came Up From Burma To Stay
And You Told Me I Ought To Travel With You, You Were Sure It Would Be Okay
When I Asked How You Earned Your Living? I Can Still Hear What You Said To Me
You Had Some Kind Of Job On The Railway And Had Nothing To Do With The Sea
Verse 2
You Said A Lot, Johnny, All One Big Lie, Johnny
You Cheated Me Blind, Johnny, From The Minute We Met
I Hate You So, Johnny, When You Stand There Grinning, Johnny
Take That Damn Pipe Out Of Your Mouth, You Rat
Chorus
Surabaya Johnny, No One's Meaner Than You
Surabaya Johnny, My God, And I Still Love You So
Surabaya Johnny, Why'm I Feeling So Blue?
You Have No Heart, Johnny And I Still Love You So
Verse 3
At The Start, Every Day Was Sunday, 'Til We Went On Our Way One Fine Night
And Before Two More Weeks Were Over, You Thought Nothing I Did Was Right
So We Trekked Up And Down Through The Punjab, From The Source Of The River To The Sea
When I Look At My Face In The Mirror, There's An Old Woman Staring Back At Me
Verse 4
You Didn't Want Love, Johnny, You Wanted Cash, Johnny
But I Saw Your Lips, Johnny And That Was That
You Wanted It All, Johnny, I Gave You More, Johnny
Take That Damn Pipe Out Of Your Mouth, You Rat
Chorus
Surabaya Johnny, No One's Meaner Than You
Surabaya Johnny, My God, And I Still Love You So
Surabaya Johnny, Why'm I Feeling So Blue?
You Have No Heart, Johnny And I Still Love You So
Verse 5
I Would Never Have Thought Of Asking, How You Got That Peculiar Name?
But From One End Of The Coast To The Other, You Were Known Everywhere We Came
And One Day In A Two-Bit Flophouse, I'll Wake Up To The Roar Of The Sea
And You'll Leave Without One Word Of Warning, On A Ship Waiting Down At The Quay
Verse 6
You Have No Heart, Johnny, You're Just A Louse, Johnny!
How Could You Go, Johnny And Leave Me Flat?
You're Still My Love, Johnny, Like The Day We Met, Johnny
Take That Damn Pipe Out Of Your Mouth, You Rat
Chorus
Surabaya Johnny, No One's Meaner Than You
Surabaya Johnny, My God, And I Still Love You So
Surabaya Johnny, Why'm I Feeling So Blue?
You Have No Heart, Johnny And I Still Love You So
