Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
The name of the band is the human race
Everybody tell me have you heard, pop goes the world
Jenny played keyboard, Johnny played drums

Called little baby and big bon-o [unverified]
Everybody tell me have you heard, pop goes the world
Johnny and Jenny had a crazy dream
See there pictures in a magazine

Every little boy needs a girl
Pop goes the world
Jenny and Johnny getting smart it seems
Made more money on a movie screen
Every little nest needs a bird
Pop goes the world

One two three and four and five
Everybody here is a friend of mine
Whatever happened to the duke of earl?
Pop goes the world

Six seven eight and nine is ten
Send out guns, I see the doctor been [unverified]
Say what planet are we on, the third
Every time I wonder where the world went wrong

End up lying on my face going ringy-dingy-ding-dong
Every time I wonder if the world is right
End up in some disco dance all nite
Johnny played guitar, jenny played bass

The name of the band is the human race
Everybody tell me have you heard pop goes the world
Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass
Being your buddy couldn't take their place?
Everybody tell me have you heard pop goes the world
