Simon Gowen - I Also Know John Denver

I’ve got some friends across the pond
I’d like you all to meet
You may have heard of one or two
For me this is a treat

Kenny Tickut is the first one
That I spoke with years ago
He has an aunt that loves me
And her name is Ida Ho

Now Ida has a neighbour,
Mrs Sippy Lives next door
And down the street a lonely man
We know him as Frank fort.

Frank lost his wife a while back
Virginia was her name
And since the day Virginia went
He’s never been the same.

Ken Tucky is a friend of Franks
Ken services Franks car
He has a young mechanic boy
And his name is Hugh Tar

Hugh fell in love with Dela Ware
And twice a day he’d phone her
But Dela wasn’t loyal cos
She’s seeing Harry Zona

When Hugh learnt Dela’s secret
He couldn’t let this pass
So he called a friend from
Southern states, a guy they call Tex Ass

Tex bought his uncle Mich Egan
An angry looking geeza
Mich has a girl who’s doing time
A rough one called Flo Reeder

But they had a wasted journey
Harry had a job in hand
He’s just popped down to JFK
To see Aunt Mary land

And last up is Nev Ardour
This guy plays a mean Piana
He sings the blues, in a local bar
To his love, Louise E Anna

Now as your host I have one task
To do before I go
To introduce the author
Yours truly Fran San Frisco
