[Verse 1]
He sits behind his microphone
John-ny Car-son
He speaks in such a manly tone
John-ny Car-son
[Chorus]
Ed McMahon comes on and says "Here's Johhny"
Every night at eleven thirty he's so funny
It's (nice) to (have) you (on) the (show) tonight
I've seen (your) act (in) Vegas out of sight
[Verse 2]
When guests are boring he fills up the slack
John-ny Car-son
The network makes him break his back
John-ny Car-son
[Chorus]
Ed McMahon comes on and says "Here's Johhny"
Every night at eleven thirty he's so funny
Don't (you) think (he's) such (a) natural guy
The (way) he's (kept) it (up) could make you cry
[Outro]
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
He sits behind his microphone
John-ny Car-son
He speaks in such a manly tone
John-ny Car-son
[Chorus]
Ed McMahon comes on and says "Here's Johhny"
Every night at eleven thirty he's so funny
It's (nice) to (have) you (on) the (show) tonight
I've seen (your) act (in) Vegas out of sight
[Verse 2]
When guests are boring he fills up the slack
John-ny Car-son

Who's a man that we admire?

Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's a man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
Who's the man that we admire?
Johnny Carson is a real live wire
