| The Ccouple looked down at their Emnewborn child |
| In their Amshack that was falling to Embits, |
| The Fmother said, "Let's call it GJohnny," |
| The G7father said, "Let's call it Cquits." |
| And when Johnny was four, his Empa was too poor |
| To buy Amtoys from the Christmas shop Emshelves, |
| So he Fjust fired his gun and he Gtold his young son |
| Father G7Christmas had shot himCself. |
|
| Now Cone day his ma took Emhim to a fair |
| And he Amwent on a round-aEmbout, |
| He Fgiggled with glee, "I Gwanna go wee!" |
| G7Everyone heard the boy Cshout. |
| She took him by the hand, from the Emfairground they ran, |
| She Amtook him behind a big Emtree, |
| She said, "FThere, shut your row, you can Ggo wee now," |
| He took a G7deep breath and went, "CWeeee!" |
|
| Then he said, "CPlease can I go 'round again, ma? |
| Please can I go 'round aG7gain? |
| Oh, I love the sound of the merry-go-round, |
| Please let me go 'round aCgain? |
| I'll do all of my homework, |
| I'll even kiss C7old Auntie FGwen, |
| And I won't shout out loud, ma, CI'll make you proud, |
| G7Please let me go 'round aCgain." |
|
| At Ctwelve he danced with his gym Emmistress, |
| She said, "AmJohnny, you're wicked and you're Embad, |
| I wish FI was your ma for Gjust half an hour," |
| John said, "G7I'll have a word with my Cdad." |
| Then someone dropped a lit cigaEmrette down the back |
| Of her Amdress but she didn't Emshout, |
| She just Fwalked off the floor and she Gsaid, "What a bore, |
| I shall G7just have to sit this one Cout." |
|
| And Johnny said, "CPlease can we go 'round again, Miss Rhodes, |
| Please can we go 'round aG7gain? |
| I've not been this close to a woman before |
| And heck knows when I will aCgain. |
| Oh, I tell you true, I could dance with you |
| 'Til the cows come C7home and Fthen, |
| I could dance with the cows, so Cplease, Miss Rhodes, |
| G7Please let me go 'round aCgain." |
|
| At Ceighteen, Irene with the Emhourglass figure |
| Got Amhim in a heck of a Emfix, |
| Her Fpa came 'round and GJohnny was found |
| With his G7hands on a quarter to Csix. |
| They were married the next day in the Emchurch by the bay, |
| 10 Ama.m., the 15th of EmJune, |
| She looked Flovely in white as she said, "GJohnny, tonight..." |
| He said, "To G7heck with tonight, this afterCnoon!" |
|
| "CThen can we go 'round again? |
| In the meantime can we go 'round aG7gain? |
| I tell ya I haven't felt like this |
| Since I can't remember Cwhen. |
| And seein' you lay there beside me, |
| Oh it damn near C7blows my Fmind, |
| Oh please can we go 'round aCgain and again, |
| And then G7'round again one more Ctime?" |
|
| Johnny's Dbmother-in-law came to Fmlive next door, |
| She had a Bbmtongue that stung like a Fmbee, |
| She said, "I'll Gbdance on your grave," Johnny Absaid, "That's brave, |
| 'Cause I'm Ab7gonna be buried at Dbsea." |
| At 50 he took to Fmcoming home late, |
| He Bbmwasn't a creature of Fmhabit. |
| If he came home Gbearly his wife thought he was Abup to something, |
| If he came home Ab7late she thought that he'd Dbhad it. |
|
| He was Dbjust 91 on the Fmday he passed on, |
| It was the Bbmway that he hoped it would Fmbe, |
| He was Gbshot by a beauty queen's Abhusband |
| In a Abmfit of jealousDby. |
| As he lay on the floor a Fmpriest was sent forward, |
| And with his Bbmlast breath Johnny conFmfessed, |
| "I Gbspent all of my money on Abmwoman and drink |
| And like a Ab7fool I squandered the Dbrest." |
|
| "DbLord, can I go 'round again? |
| Please can I go 'round aAb7gain? |
| Oh, I can't believe that I'll never see |
| Your sky or your trees aDbgain. |
| Oh, the girls and the wine and the living were fine, |
| I shouldn't comDb7plain but Gbthen, |
| You give damned short rides on this Dbfairground of yours, Lord, |
| Oh Ab7please let me go 'round aDbgain." Gb DbGb DbGb Db |
