Johnny the Horse Songtext

von Madness

Johnny the horse was kicked to death
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
Between Glasgow and London
One hot summer he forgot his name

Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo 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?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Can you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Will you remember?

Will you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Can you remember?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

He took his battered bones and his broken dreams
To Regents Park at sunset

Will you remember?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Will you remember his name?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Will you remember?
Doodlo dup dup dup
Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO
