It Ain't 1918
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
Johhny 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 johhny 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 klaus
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
No es 1918
Johnny era un soldado con los aliados
Johnny era un soldado hasta el final
Johnny era un soldado con un lado divertido
A Johnny le gustaba reír mucho cada día
Johnny conoció a una chica que era hermosa
Johnny nunca pensó en vivir en pecado
"¿tomas a esta chica?"
"sí, tomo a esta chica"
Johnny tenía un pariente cercano
Eran felices como eran
Así que todo a su alrededor cambiaría
Pero ellos nunca, nunca cambiarían
No es 1918 excepto para estos dos, no es 1918...
Todos en Missouri los conocen
Todos allí han visto su auto
Todos han visto su Stanley Steamer
Todos saben que es el auto de Johnny
Saluda cuando veas a Johnny ir al mercado
Observa un poco del pasado pasar silbando
Johnny y su novia
Johnny y su auto
Sin ningún cambio de ningún tipo
Y eran felices como eran
Todo a su alrededor había cambiado
Pero ellos nunca, nunca cambiaron
No es 1918 excepto para estos dos, no es 1918...
Mucha gente en St. Louis es adinerada
Una dama llamada Miller lo es
¿No sería agradable ayudar a Johnny?
Jugar un poco a ser Papá Noel en la vida real
Ella y muchas otras personas de St. Louis
Compraron a Johnny un auto bastante elegante
Y una casa moderna
Tiraron su peine
Compraron a su esposa una bufanda de París
Johnny agradeció a la gente de St. Louis
Pero les dijo con voz triste
Que preferiría quedarse como estaba
La gente de St. Louis se enojó, y dijeron
No es 1918 para nosotros ni para ti
Si no podemos disfrutarlo...
Entonces tú tampoco lo harás
