"Mad John's Escape" lyrics - DONOVAN

Mad John came down from Birmingham
Very hastily
And from Borstal he had ran
He made it down to Torquay
Good boy, Mad John

Mad John holed up in an allotment shed
In a railroad siding
In came the man for the watering can

(water, water, water, water)
He didn't see John hiding

(hide, hide, hide, hide)
Good boy, Mad John

Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John

Mad John met Jill in a transport cafe
By the juke box loud
And over double eggs, chips and beans
They made a solemn vow (oh, John!)
And Jill paid the bill

Mad John came down from Birmingham
Very hastily
And from Borstal he had ran
He made it down to Torquay
Good boy, Mad John

Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
Mad, mad John
Mad, mad, mad John
