I’ve listened to this a million times and I think I finally have the lyrics down as best as possible.
Paul: Well now, Johnny Johnny, oh Johnny Johnny, Oh Johnny Johnny, Johnny Johnny, Johnny Johnny, oh lord, Johnny boy.
How we gonna tell ‘em? Why don’t we go and keep on home?
Well, well, Johnny, my boy.
Why don’t we go and tell 'em what we’re after? Johnny, ooooh Johnny Johnny boy, tell them the message of ours.
Oh, Johnny, well, you got me, will you be my boy? Hey, take it, John. Ha!
John: Oh little boy, packing my shoes, as if I’m not gonna lose you.
That’s right, hon. I’m gonna see my sister soon.
She don’t see me, I don’t know really what I’m gonna do. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Well!
Paul: Well, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
When I call you Johnny boy
Well Johnny John, oooh Johnny, when I’m calling you
Well, I don’t know what I’m gonna tell 'em. That’s why I’m asking my best boy.
Will you tell me, will you tell me?
John: Well I’ll tell the fellas that I’d travel with you (or “i do love you”???)
Oh when you pull I shouldn’t be back, be back this time. I don’t know if that’s good.
Paul: I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I tell my father ya want me, Johnny.
John: I love you, Paul! Aaaaahh
Paul: You think you’d better leave, you think you follow me. Aaah Ah, we better leave right now. I’m gonna leave.
John: Take the next bus out of town, it won’t let nobody down.
Both: Well, we’re gonna leave together, get out of town, leave together.
Paul: Won’t let you down. Get out, get out. Oh, oh, oh, oh, John x10, oh

Well, I’ll just survive. Turn your head from somebody else’s kiss. I’m gonna leave, I’m leaving with you. Yeah, someday x4
Paul: Well, I’ll tell ya (John: Yeeaaaaah)
Well, I’ll tell ya, you’re all I want, you’re all I want, you’re all I want
Let’s go get out of town. Aaah, oooooh, oh, we gotta move far, far away from this old town.
Move on over, leave. We’re going over, across the stream.
No one will know who we are, are. We gotta go away. We’re gonna go far away. Well, we’re gonna go far away. x2
John: Well, go, go, go, go. Oooooh
Both: Hey, hey, hey x10
