Mr Johnson works the railway
every day from nine to five
at the end of every work day
he goes home to his wife
Mr Johnson's "Mr Nice Guy"
all his neighbours think he's great
he's honest, hardworking and friendly
happy and smiling each day
Mrs Johnson's a different story
doesn't talk much, really shy
she hangs her head and turns away
whenever someone walks by
Mrs Johnson doesn't go out much
she prefers to stay at home
in fact she's only ever seen
when Mr Johnson's gone
Mr Johnson has lots of friends
one visits him every night
Mrs Johnson doesn't like him
he doesn't treat her right
Mr Johnson likes him though
they've been friends for years
Mrs Johnson's begged and pleaded
but he doesn't understand her fears
Mr Johnson's friend is nasty
after a while he gets angry
Mrs Johnson doesn't trust him
she thinks he's mean and crazy
Mr Johnson likes his company
his friend is a real mans man
Mrs Johnson is scared of him
she just doesn't understand
Mr Johnson doesn't see the problem
she should just shut her mouth
If she doesn't like him
she just should leave the house
Mrs Johnson has tried to leave
the friend stops her at the door
tells her it will be okay
he won't upset her anymore
Mrs Johnson doesn't believe him
but she comes back anyway
she knows what will happen
if she tries to walk away
Mr Johnson's happy now
his friend is happy too
he likes when Mrs Johnson
does what he tells her to
Mr Johnson works the railway
every day from nine to five
when the day is over
he goes home and beats his wife
Mr Jonhson, is no "Mr Nice Guy"
he's just a drunken devil in disguise
when the night comes calling
he's Dr Jekyll, she's Mrs Hide
