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
By a railroad siding
In came the man
For the watering can
He didn't see John hiding
Good boy Mad John
Mad Mad John
Mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
Mad 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
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 John
Mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
Mad Mad John
Mad mad Mad John
