about

Originally recorded by Bram Tchaikovsky on their 1979 release "Strange Man, Changed Man," and a staple of the 77s live sets. John had the honor of interviewing Ronnie Thomas, the man who wrote this power pop gem.

lyrics

Judy was an American girl
She came in the morning with the US mail
She didn't say nothing
But she looked pretty good to me

Golden hair that shines so bright
Loving eyes that see not sight
She could keep the secrets
That we share in my world of dreams

And a man needs something
When he ain't got nothing to hold onto
And there ain't no telling
When I feel like yelling, "I love you"

Ooh, it gets lonely in the night
When there ain't no one around
Ooh, she makes me feel alright
Get my feet right off the ground
She's the girl of my dreams

Judy does what I ask her to
She makes me happy when I feel blue
She stares with the eyes of a child
And gets me to my knees

Her heart it never beats in time
'cept when it's beating close to mine
I keep her from my friends
Locked away with my fantasies

And a man needs something
When he ain't got nothing to hang onto
And there ain't no telling
When I feel like yelling, "I love you"

Ooh, it gets lonely in the night
When there ain't no one around
Ooh, she makes me feel alright
Get my feet right off the ground
She's the girl of my dreams

Guitarist Andy Sullivan, bassist Cal Everett and drummer John Kelly share a love of obscure 1970s power pop and have played shows across the Washington, D.C. region, winning the occasional battle of the bands and jamming with heroes like Paul Collins. ... more
