Look at Little Johnny

Johnny is an invented character; or is he every one of us? The subject of this song is just light-hearted silliness; or is there deep and profound meaning here? This song is written for four-part a cappella choir; it truly is.

Lyrics:

Look at little Johnny swimming in the lake,
Making all the waves and ripples a little kid can make:
Diving to the bottom, splashing in the air.
Then he goes into the shore,
The water closes in once more
And it’s as if he was never there.
It’s as if he was never there.
