Madness - Johnny The Horse

Johnny the Horse was kicked to death
He died for entertainment

Would you believe he came out well
He had a bright and 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
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?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh

Can you remember his name?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh

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-woooh
Can you remember his name?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh
Will you remember?

Will you remember his name?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh
Can you remember?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh

He took his battered bones and his broken bones
To Regent's Park at sunset

Will you remember?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh

Will you remember his name?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh

Will you remember?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh

Will you remember?
Doodley-doo-doo-doo, doodley-doodley-doo-woooh
