Johnny let me tell the truth, this is my fate Should I sit in the back and die? I wish for the best, but I can't It's time I got inside, it's time for me to Get out of this place Oh! Oh! Ain't no wish to wash your face, don't be mad, brush your hair I'm a fireball man Fireball man Fireball man Oh! Oh! Scanna voila!
