    Story Behind the Song
    "Johnny" is an ill-fated character sketch of a transvestite who just wants to live her life in peace, but her life won't let that happen. Loosely based on my ex-girlfriend's speed freak roommate and a good poet friend's short relationship with a straight cross-dresser, "Johnny" comes from my early days in San Francisco when I lived in the Western Addition 'hood and spent a lot of time in the infamous Tenderloin eating fish and chips in Polk street bars and teaching at a homeless toddler program.

    Lyrics
    Johnny
    Johnny is a tranny
    He lives out on the South side
    The south side of town
    Everything he does is epic
    He'll make a movie about this one day
    Starring Johnny the tranny
    Wearing a zebra skirt in the rain

    Chorus
    Johnny just wants to be
    Jenny in the daylight
    Johnny just wants the sun
    To light up his pumps right
    Johnny just wants to be
    Jenny in the daylight
    Johnny just wants to live
    Without all this deep fright

    2
    Johnny is your mother coming down
    for Christmas mass
    With a basketful of cake
    and a handful of cash
    Johnny smoke another hit
    just so you can forget
    About your fat bellied papa preacher
    and the house where you once slept

    Chorus

    C Section
    Johnny with his dirty dress
    And hair all greasy and wild
    The wind whipping down the street and the traffic sleazing by
    The wind whipping down the street and the traffic and the traffic
    sleazing by

    Solo

    Chorus
