It′s 6:00 a.m.
It's time for school
Johnny says stay cool

Johnny says stay cool
Take a minute out
You work too hard
Let her come to you
Johnny says stay cool

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe and out

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out




Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out

Overall Meaning

The song "Johny Says Stay Cool" by The Babe Rainbow (AUS) is all about finding inner peace and calmness amidst the chaos of life. The first stanza speaks about starting a new day, the beginning of school or work, and Johnny advises to stay cool. The second stanza encourages the listener to take a minute out from their routine, as they might be working too hard. The third stanza specifically speaks to relationships, asking the listener to let the person they desire to come to them, rather than chasing after them. The phrase "Johnny says stay cool" runs throughout the song as a constant reminder to remain calm and collected.


The repeated lines "Breathe in, breathe out" is a simple mantra that helps people calm themselves down and focus on their breathing. It's a reminder to be in the present moment, to let go of any distractions, and just be still. The song encourages the listener to let go of any negative thoughts, worries, and anxieties and adopt a positive, optimistic attitude. The overall message of the song is to find balance in life, to work hard, but also take a step back to appreciate and enjoy the little things.
