In a bar Johnny drinks
Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker
Runs up a bill he can't pay

He's drinking to the memory
Of a prince in a paupers grave


And it's go Johnny go
Where the bruises don't show
In the church yard

Where the nervous get wrecked
And turn off your wireless
For two minutes silence

Cough up and pay your respects

And go to the park

Where vicars and tarts
Prey for their tormented souls
By the American graffiti

From Elephant and Castle
In Ford Capri Orange
Volkswagen yellow and gold


Johnny drinks, Johnny drinks
Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker

Runs up a bill that the pope couldn't pay
He's drinking to the memory
Of a prince in a paupers grave


Johnny drinks, Johnny drinks
Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker

@@#!les his muscles alive alive, 'o
Smashes his bottles of unholy water
And it's go, Johnny go, Johnny go, go


Back to the churchyard
Where day out and day in

Those original sinners
Are religiously praying


And where there was muck
There's a brass band that's playing
Playing to the memory

Of a prince in a paupers grave
