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.
He started out walking,
Never looked back,
It was too much pain.
Between Glasgow and London,
One hot summer he forgot his name.
Can you remember his name?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Can you remember his name?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
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?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Can you remember his name?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Will you remember?
[Sax Solo]
Can you remember his name?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Can you remember?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
He took his battered bones and broken dreams to Regents Park at sunset.
Will you remember?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Will you remember his name?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Will you remember?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
Will you remember?
Doo-dilly do do do, doo-dilly-doo-dilly-doo whoo!
