Madness - Wonderful - 5 Promo Cut Lyrics ======================================== Notation [] encloses voice or music details / is secondary vocals Johnny the Horse ---------------- 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 time 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 Started out walking He never looked back There was too much pain [upward strings] Between Glasgow and London One hot summer he forgot his name Can you remember his name? Doodley Doo Doo Doo Doodley Doodley Doo WOO Can you remember his name? Doodley Doo Doo Doo Doodley Doodley Doo 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? Doodley Doo Doo Doo Doodley Doodley Doo WOO Can you remember his name? Doodley Doo Doo Doo Doodley Doodley Doo WOO Will you remember? [sax solo] Will you remember his name?

Doodley Doo Doo Doo Doodley Doodley Doo WOO Johnny the horse, he passed this way. He died for entertainment.
