Johnny was a soldier with the allies
Johnny was a soldier all the way
Johnny was a soldier with a fun side
Johnny liked to laugh a lot each day

Johnny met a girl who was a beauty
Johnny never thought to live in sin
"do you take this girl?"
"yes i take this girl"
Johnny had a next of kin

They were happy as they were
So everything around would change
But they would never, ever change
It ain't 1918 except for these two
It ain't 1918...

Everybody in missouri knows them
Everybody there has seen their car
Everybody seen their stanley steamer
Everybody knows it's johnny's car
Wave as you see johnny drive to market
Watch a bit of past go steaming by
Johnny and his bride
Johnny and his car
Without a change of any kind

And they were happy as they were
Everything around had changed
But they had never, ever changed
It ain't 1918 except for there two-
It ain't 1918...

Many people in st. lou are wealthy
A lady by the name of miller is
Wouldn't it be nice to help out johnny
Kinda play a real life santa claus
She and many other st. lou people
Bought ol' johnny quite a fancy car
And a modern home
Threw away his comb
Bought his wife a paris scarf

Johnny thanked the st. lou folk
But told them in a voice so sad
That he would rather stay as is
The people of st. lou were mad, and they said
It ain't 1918 for us or for you
If we can't enjoy it...
Then neither will you
