Hello Stephie and all you Maddies,
Stephie asked about the "radio-friendly" change of lyrics so I thought I'd
type up the whole shabang! Written by Mr. C.J.P. Smyth, esq., here they are:
**********************************************
Johnny the horse, he passed this way
He died for entertainment
Would you believe he came out well?
He had a bright, inquiring mind.
His family knew that he'd go far,
If he applied his mind.
But he started out standing on corners
And talking out loud - too loud.
You see he couldn't believe in himself or the world
Or anything he heard.
It seems a million years ago,
That he left his life behind.
The moment came for him to go,
He said goodbye to his wife and child.
He started out walking,
He never looked back.
There was too much pain.
Between Glasgow and London
One hot summer he forgot his name.
Can you remember his name?
[altogether now-my addition;-)]
Doodle oo do do do
Doodle oo doodle oo doodle oo WOO
Can you remember his name?
Doodle...etc, WOO
Can you remember?
He started out standing on corners
And talking out loud - too loud.
You see he couldn't believe in himself or the world
Or anything he heard.
Can you remember his name?
Doodle oo..etc, WOO
Can you remember his name?
Doodle oo... etc, WOO
Will you remember?
[sax solo]
Will you remember his name?
Doodle oo etc, WOO
Can you remember?
Doodle oo etc, WOO
[break]
(spoken bit - something about broken dreams, Regents Park and sunset???)
[lovely orchestral bit]
Will you remember?
Doodle etc, WOO
Will you remember his name?
Doodle etc, WOO
Will you remember?
Doodle etc, WOO
Will you remember?
Doodle etc, WOO
Johnny the horse, he passed this way.
He died for entertainment.
