In a bar Johnny drinks Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker Runs up a bill he can't pay He's drinking to the memory Of a prince in a paupers grave
And it's go Johnny go Where the bruises don't show In the church yard Where the nervous get wrecked And turn off your wireless For two minutes silence Cough up and pay your respects
And go to the park Where vicars and tarts Prey for their tormented souls By the American graffiti From Elephant and Castle In Ford Capri Orange Volkswagen yellow and gold
Johnny drinks, Johnny drinks Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker Runs up a bill that the pope couldn't pay He's drinking to the memory Of a prince in a paupers grave
Johnny drinks, Johnny drinks Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker Cockles his muscles alive alive, 'o Smashes his bottles of unholy water And it's go, Johnny go, Johnny go, go
Back to the churchyard Where day out and day in Those original sinners Are religiously praying
And where there was muck There's a brass band that's playing Playing to the memory Of a prince in a paupers grave
