Lyrics

JOHNNY, THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE
words and music by Randy K. Brown and William Kitchens

IN A LITTLE TOWN IN ILLINOIS
JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE JOHN DEER FACTORY
HE GOT HIS FIRST GUITAR, THE DAY HE TURNED SIXTEEN
A YEAR LATER WHEN HE BROKE THE LAST STRING
HE TRADED FOR A KARAOKE MACHINE
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE TOLD HIM HE COULD SING

HE'S JOHNNY THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE
HE SOUNDS A WHOLE LOT LIKE ALFALFA
AND LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE BILLY DEAN
HE SPENDS ALL DAY ON A TRACTOR
BUT AT NIGHT HE LOVES TO SING
HE'S JOHNNY THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE

JUST A FEW WEEKS SHY OF HIS TWENTY FIRST YEAR
HE WON A CONTEST DOWN AT THE PARK BY THE ARMORY
SOME NASHVILLE FAT KAT WATCHED AS THE GIRLS ALL STOOD AND CHEERED
HE SAID SO YOU SING A LITTLE FLAT
OUR ENGINEERS WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT
WE'LL EVEN GET YOU FITTED FOR A HAT

HE'S JOHNNY THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE
HE SOUNDS A WHOLE LOT LIKE THE OTHERS
AND HE DRESSES UP LIKE JOHN WAYNE
HE SPENDS ALL DAY COUNTING MONEY
HE'S ON THE COVER OF THE MAGAZINES
HE'S JOHNNY THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE

ON THE EVE OF THE CMA AWARDS SHOW
BACKSTAGE IN THE HALLS OF THE GRAND OL' OPRY
JOHNNY TRIED TO MAKE A MOVE ON THE MISTRESS OF THE LABEL HEAD
A WEEK LATER HE WAS ALL WASHED UP
AND TAKING BIDS ON HIS TOUR BUS
RADIO HAD HEARD THE VERY LAST OF

JOHNNY THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE
I HEAR HE'S STILL IN NASHVILLE
AND HE'S A CHEF AT THE BURGER KING
HE SPENDS ALL DAY MAKING UP WHOPPERS
AND AT NIGHT HE'S DROPPING NAMES
HE'S JOHNNY THE KARAOKE KING OF MOLINE
