Lyrics
Casual is nice
Casual is great
You’re never really early
You’re never really late
No making plans together
Your life is still your own
You get together now and then
Then, whoops, he’s off for home!
(Slower)
There’s that certain feeling that’s always there
You wonder if his thoughts are of you
Does he smile to himself when you’re not around
Is there just a little more that you could do?
I know when we’re together it’s all about us
A few amazing hours that are his and mine alone
Nothing deep and nothing lasting
It’s understood he has a home
Casual is nice
Casual is great
You’re never really early
You’re never really late
No making plans together
Your life is still your own
You get together now and then
Then, whoops, he’s off and gone
No heavy conversation
No discussing world events
Just keep it light and breezy
19
Don’t stick in your two cents
Never thought I’d be able to sustain
Any conversation that required half a brain
I’m a nice diversion in the middle of the day
But I know when it’s time to get out of the way
Casual is nice
Casual is great
You’re never really early
You’re never really late
Casual is great
You’re never really early
You’re never really late
No making plans together
Your life is still your own
You get together now and then
Then, whoops, he’s off for home!
(Slower)
There’s that certain feeling that’s always there
You wonder if his thoughts are of you
Does he smile to himself when you’re not around
Is there just a little more that you could do?
I know when we’re together it’s all about us
A few amazing hours that are his and mine alone
Nothing deep and nothing lasting
It’s understood he has a home
Casual is nice
Casual is great
You’re never really early
You’re never really late
No making plans together
Your life is still your own
You get together now and then
Then, whoops, he’s off and gone
No heavy conversation
No discussing world events
Just keep it light and breezy
19
Don’t stick in your two cents
Never thought I’d be able to sustain
Any conversation that required half a brain
I’m a nice diversion in the middle of the day
But I know when it’s time to get out of the way
Casual is nice
Casual is great
You’re never really early
You’re never really late

That is when Johnny began his singing and comedy career, writing, producing and performing his own one-man cabaret shows.
