(Danny is my name, oh yes)
My name should be trouble
My name should be woe
For trouble and heartache is all that I know
But Danny, yes Danny is my name (Oh yes, oh yes)


My life has been empty
My heart has been torn
It must have been raining the night I was born
Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name. (Danny is my name oh yes)


I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love never came my way


Writing a letter to someone unknown
So if you should find it and if you're alone
Oh Danny, yes Danny, is my name (Oh yes)
Oh Danny, yes Danny, is my name
Ohohoho
