The Diary Of Horace Wimp Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Monday 

Late again today 

He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry 

He'd have to hurry out to the bus 

Tuesday 

Horace was so sad 

He'd never had a girl that he could care for 

And if he was late once more, he'd be out 

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door 

Well, he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin' 

Then a voice from above said 

"Horace Wimp, this is your life 

Go out and find yourself a wife 

Make a stand and be a man 

And you will have a great life plan" 

Wednesday 

Horace met a girl 

She was small and she was very pretty 

He thought he was in love, he was afraid 

Thursday 

Asks her for a date 

The cafe down the street tomorrow evening 

His head was reeling when she said, "Yes, okay" 

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door 

Well, he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin' 

Then a voice from above said 

"Horace Wimp, this is your life 

Go out and find yourself a wife 

Make a stand and be a man 

And you will have a great life plan" 

Friday 

Horace, this is it 

He asks the girl if maybe they could marry 

When she says, "Gladly" Horace cries for her 

Sunday 

Everybody's at the church 

When Horace rushes in and says 

"Now here come my wife for the rest of my life" and she did 

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door 

Well, he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin' 

Then a voice from above said 

"Horace Wimp, this is your wife 

Go out and find yourself a life 

Make a stand and be a man 

And you will have a great life plan"
