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

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?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Can you remember his name?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

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?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Can you remember his name?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Will you remember?

Will you remember his name?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Can you remember?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

He took his battered bones and his broken dreams

to Regents Park at sunset

Will you remember?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Will you remember his name?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO!

Will you remember?

Doodlo dup dup dup

Doodlo doodlo doodlo WOO
