Johnny C. Dude

Johnny C. Dude, a chef in the Orient and Johnny B. Goode's distant cousin (a Chuck Berry tune)

Verse 1
Deep down in East Asia close to COVID-19s

Way back up in the hoods, far from New Orleans
There stood a kitchen whose food tasted so good
Where made dishes a chef named Johnny C. Dude
Who never ever learned to read recipes so well
But for dogs he was the devil straight outta hell

Chorus
Go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Go Johnny go, go
Johnny Chink Dude

Verse 2
He used to hang around by the railroad tracks
Carrying knives, a saw and his sharp axe

Oh, the engineers would see him sitting on the hills
Observing railsides to harvest railroad kills
Gourmet people passing by would stop and say:
"Oh my, dat chef boi can cook tho' he's so gay"

Chorus
Solo

Verse 3
Mother told 'im: "You'll be kinda Gordon Ramsay man
Whose cronies are shit and you are the fan
Hungry people coming from miles around
To eat your bats, cats or the foxhound
Your commercial will be on the Michelin site"

Saying: "C'mon man, have a big bite!"

Chorus

"Let's go eat at that Johnny C. Dude's Chinese restaurant."
"Hell no! My dog could offend his mind if he found out."
