The Johnny Podell Song

Written by Francis Dunnery

Johnny Podell got a magician up his sleeve
Stealth bomber timing and an overdub’s voice
Good choice in restaurants and good value for money
Handing out love and respect like it was some sort of candy
And I love him oh I love him, cos he reminds so much of me
That’s self-obsession for ya, coupled with extremity
With a stage light in his face when he wakes up every morning
It’s great cos I can switch off when he’s wearing his stage clothing
And I don’t have to be that person that I’ve set myself up to be
So sometimes I’m good for Johnny, and Johnny’s definitely good for me

Walking down 72nd street trying to rent a room to hide
My mind’s on 26th street but my dick’s in the upper west side
I crashed down to Atlantis I was singing a new tune
There’s oceans of them office girls all sitting on a fortune
Holding my tail and sucking on my delinquence
Spitting and praising like they ain’t seen me before
And I love it oh I love it I absolutely love it cos it reminds me that I’m free
That’s chauvinism for ya, coupled with extremity

There’s a new play out on Broadway baby
There’s a new play out on Broadway baby
There’s a new play out on Broadway baby, tonight, and it’s me

Alarm call every 8am to see if I’ve survived
I look to my left and I look to my right to see who’s by my side
And I’m playing with myself again, there’s a woman in my womb
I check my daily reflection and I pull myself around the room
Amanda keeps on calling said she wants to sing my tune
But there’s someone else to play tonight and
Light all my candles and burn all my money and
Let’s I’m not a loser, but I’m winning over finer men
I’m playing a role wherever I go and wherever I think I can

There’s a new play out on Broadway baby
There’s a new play out on Broadway baby
There’s a new play out on Broadway baby, tonight, and it’s me
