Football, baseball, basket ball games Drinking beer, kicking ass and taking down names With the top down, get around, shooting the line Summer is here and Johnny's feeling fine
But Johnny can't read Summer is over and he's gone to seed You know that Johnny can't read He never learned nothing that he'll ever need
Well, Johnny can dance and Johnny can love Johnny can push and Johnny can shove Johnny can hang out Johnny can talk tough Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up
But Johnny can't read Summer is over and he's gone to seed You know that Johnny can't read He never learned nothing that he'll ever need
Well, is it teacher's fault? oh no Is it mommy's fault? oh no Is it society's fault? oh no Well is it Johnny's fault? ohhh no
Couple years later, Johnny's on the run Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun Well, he went and did something that he should'nt oughta done FBI on his tail Use a gun, go to jail
But Johnny can't read Summer is over and he's gone to seed You know that Johnny can't read He never learned nothing that he'll ever need
Well is is teacher's fault? oh no Is it mommy's fault? oh no Is it the president's fault? oh no Well is it Johnny's fault? ohhh no
Johnny can dance and Johnny can love Johnny can push and Johnny can shove Johnny can pinball Johnny can talk tough Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up
Johnny can't read Johnny can't read
Well, recess is over Recess is over
