Lyrics
billy used to play his guitar in the bath;
his mother said:
"you know you're gonna shrink that thing !"
billy said:
"ma' don't you be no square . . .
. . . 'cos you know how much i love to sing !"
but billy's mum was right 'cos thirty years later . . . he's ended up with a mandolin !
when johnny was a boy . . being a policeman
was his one and only goal;
but a love of drugs;
and a fear of thugs;
meant this career got parole !
a gcse in english lit'
and an attention deficit . . .
pointed to a life upon the dole !
well billy wrote a book
and he made his fortune;
now he's living by the sea . . .
johnny found a chest of buried treasure;
and bought a farm in the country . . .
recording songs on garageband;
and they post them on macjams . . .
for all their lovely fans to see
1 2 3 4 . . .
when you're not feeling strong . . .
and the world has all gone wrong . . .
come back where you belong;
back to the place where they know your face
and the songs of country john !
in the middle of the night . . .
when nothing seems right . . .
you've got to carry on;
take a tip from me . . .
get an mp3 . . .
of the songs of country john !
so if you got a good thing going on . . .
sing about it in a song . . .
you know you can't go wrong;
with a friend like billy and his mandolin . . .
there's only one thing to do . . .
and that's sing along . . .
come on sing along . . .
come on sing along . . .
come on sing along . . .
you know you can't go wrong when you're singing along . . .
