Oh, Johnny’s lost his marbles Johnny’s lost his marbles Johnny’s lost his marbles Down in Granny’s yard.

Johnny’s searched all over Johnny’s searched all over Johnny’s searched all over Down in Granny’s yard.

But still he cannot find them Still he cannot find them Still he cannot find them Down in Granny’s yard So he fetched a big broom-handle So he fetched a big broom-handle So he fetched a big broom-handle Down in Granny’s yard He shoved it up the drainpipe He shoved it up the drainpipe He shoved it up the drainpipe Down in Granny’s yard But still he could not find them Still he could not find them Still he could not find them Down in Granny’s yard So Johnny fetched a terrier So Johnny fetched a terrier So Johnny fetched a terrier Down in Granny’s yard And he rammed him up the drainpipe And he rammed him up the drainpipe And he rammed him up the drainpipe Down in Granny’s yard But still he could not find them But still he could not find them But still he could not find them Down in Granny’s yard Johnny got some gunpowder Johnny got some gunpowder Johnny got some gunpowder Down in Granny’s yard He lit a match and dropped it He lit a match and dropped it He lit a match and dropped it And he blew up Granny’s yard Johnny’s found his marbles Johnny’s found his marbles Johnny’s found his marbles Down in Granny’s yard They’d been in his left-hand pocket They’d been in his left-hand pocket Not in Granny's yard
