Johnny’s Song

Kurt Weill, Paul Green

[JOHNNY]
When man was first created
I'm sure his maker meant
Him for some good intent
Kind heart and love, forgiving wrong

And though through ages fated
To climb our wandering way
At last we'll find the day
When joy shall be our song

I hear them say it's all baloney
The world's a mighty cruel place
With tooth and claw and promise phony
And old hard guy he wins the race

But you and I don't think so
We know there's something still
Of good beyond such ill
Within our heart and mind

And we'll never lose our faith and hope
And trust in all mankind
We'll work and strive while we're alive
That better way to find

As up and down I wander
My weary way and long
I meet all kinds of folks
Who listen to my song

(spoken)
Toys
Toys
For little girls and boys
Toys
