about

I have to give credit to Sheldon for coming up with ideas for most of the first two albums. This was a 'B' side on the second 'Crouch Potatoes' Christmas CD single along with 'Fantastic Tits' and 'That Christmas Song'

lyrics

He shares his name with a porno star,
and drives an old Volkeswagon car,
It's sad to see he’s no longer the boss,
those days are gone, and we’re all at a loss,
so raise your glass to a good friend of mine,
from all the lads who had a good time.

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny Holmes,
Jonny, Jonny, Jonny Holmes.

He had a pub where we could go,
‘til closing time when he said no,
when jumping Jack flash said Johnny be good,
it wasn’t a phrase that John understood,
then Long tall Sally rode her bike into town,
but where was the queen when the King lost his crown?

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny Holmes,
Jonny, Jonny, Jonny Holmes.

A change is due whatever next?
up at six with his fruit and veg,
the lights are out, but the legend lives on,
I’m not a retard and neither is John,
I’d like to say more and to shout it out loud,
respect for the man who done us all proud.

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny Holmes,
Jonny, Jonny, Jonny Holmes.
