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 like 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 doodle eh do do 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 Can you remember his name? Doo doodle eh do do Can you remember his name? Doo doodle eh do do Ditto Woooh! Will you remember his name? Doo doodle eh do do Ditto Woooh! He took his battered bones and broken dreams to Regents Park at sunset
