Winter (Johnny) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I go home with, can I go home with you
I'll tell your mother and your father, I'm a little schoolboy too
Gonna buy me an airplane, gonna buy me an airplane
Gonna fly all over, gonna fly all over town, all over town, yes
If I don't find my little schoolgirl, ain't gonna set my airplane down ah, yeah
When I was twelve, baby when I was twelve years old
You know I was looking for a schoolgirl just to, eat my jelly roll, yeah
G, good morning little schoolgirl, good morning little schoolgirl
Can I go home with, can I go home with you, ah, yeah
Tell your mother and your father, I'm a little schoolboy, yes a schoolboy
The lyrics to "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" by Winter (Johnny) are written from the perspective of a man who is interested in a younger girl, possibly a schoolgirl. The repeated phrase of "good morning little schoolgirl" establishes the subject of the song, while also creating a creepy and unsettling tone. The man asks if he can go home with her and tells her that he is also a schoolboy. He also mentions that he will tell her mother and father, indicating a lack of concern for potential consequences.
The second verse continues the disturbing themes by stating that the man wants to buy an airplane and fly all over town in search of the little schoolgirl. The line "If I don't find my little schoolgirl, ain't gonna set my airplane down" suggests that he is obsessed with her and willing to continue searching for her even if it means putting himself in danger. The third verse is perhaps the most troubling as it reveals the man's interest in the schoolgirl when he was only twelve years old. He talks about looking for a schoolgirl to "eat my jelly roll," a euphemism for sex.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a disturbing and predatory interest in young girls. The repetition of the phrase "good morning little schoolgirl" adds to the unsettling tone of the song, while the third verse further emphasizes the man's predatory behavior.

So incredibly grand! I bought the LP new in 1971 when I was 14. Still listening to it. Johnny and Rick together, just awesome. Rocking blues can't be better than this!
@laurieweinroth3596
Johnny could sure play the blues really naturally,great singing, a true musician. Saw him once,exciting as heck. He had to overcome a lot with grace. I take my hat off to you and Edgar was a hell of a musician.

Bought this album almost 50 years ago. The drum opening on this first cut still fascinates me to this day.
Johnny was a great performer, and he had an ear for other great performers. The whole line-up was quite talented.
@THEWORDCHRISTIANMINISTRY
"Bobby Caldwell" on drums ! Good stuff !!
@dbarnes544
I've bought this album in cassette, vinyl multiple times. Always a good listen.
@refriedboogie
Top 10 best rock performance ever. This is true boogie
@SteveMills
April, 1974, I saw this band with Black Oak Arkansas and Brownsville Station in Portland, Oregon. Ticket was $4. You can't even buy a bottle of water that cheap these days. Johnny could be clumsy, he could be comical, but he was always on fire. He was amazing.

Saw Johnny puke on stage in Bangor, Maine.
He never missed a beat, it was so good it should have been televised, and I mean it.

I was lucky enough to be there. I was a kid of 14. Had bought tickets for the late show ( yes, two shows a night at the Filmore East) and had to swap them for the early show or my parents would not let me go .I never looked back. He was "my guy" from that time on. The guitar interplay between he and Derringer just makes me feel great every time I hear it.
