Intro:
(x2)
Verse 1:
Mad John came down from Birming-ham,
Very hasti-ly.
And from Borstal, he had ran;
He made it down to Torquay.
Good boy Mad John.
Verse 2:
Mad John holed up in an a-llotment shed,
By a railroad siding.
In came the man for the watering can;
He didn't see John hiding.
Good boy Mad John.
Chorus 1:
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John,
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John.
Verse 3:
Mad John met Jill in a transport ca-fe,
By the juke box loud.
And over double eggs, chips and beans,
They made a solemn vow,
And Jill paid the bill.
Chorus 2:
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John,
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John.
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John.
