He's always ready
Waiting in the wings
Dreaming of all the glory
That stardom would bring
But he needs to prove it

Stagedoor Johnny you got soul
Gonna prove your point with your rock n' roll
Stagedoor Johnny don't be shy
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night

It's 10:15 and the show must go on
Jerry and the Juniors
But where's Jerry gone
Up there on the stage it's

Stagedoor Johnny you got soul
Gonna prove your point with your rock n' roll
Stagedoor Johnny don't be shy
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night

He's a rocker
He's a roller
And he knows what they want
Yeah he knows what they like
And he gives it to 'em
Gives it to 'em
And the crowd goes wild
Yeah the crowd goes wild
Give 'em all you got
Give 'em all you got Johnny

Whoa-oh

Stagedoor Johnny you got soul
Gonna prove your point with your rock n' roll
Stagedoor Johnny don't be shy
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night

And when the music stops
They beg for more
This is the moment you've been waiting for

So give 'em one more Johnny

Stagedoor Johnny you got soul
Gonna prove your point with your rock n' roll
Stagedoor Johnny don't be shy
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
