-----------------------...........
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.
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.
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John,
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John.
Mad John met Jill in a transport ca-fe, by the jukebox, loud.
And over double eggs, chips and beans, they made a solemn vow.
And Jill paid the bill.
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John,
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John.
Mad, mad, mad John, mad, mad John.
