Johnny The Horse Lyrics - 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 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 

It was too much pain 

Between Glasgow and London 

One hot summer he forgot his name 

Can you remember his name? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

Ditto Woooh! 

Can you remember? 

He started out standing on corners 

And talking out loud, too loud 

You see he couldn't believe in himself the world 

Or anything he heard 

Can you remember his name? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

Ditto Woooh! 

Will you remember? 

Will you remember his name? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

Can you remember? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

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

Will you remember? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

Will you remember his name? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

Will you remember? 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Doo doodle eh do do 

Ditto Woooh! 

Johnny the horse was kicked to death 

He died for entertainment
