ELO – The Diary Of Horace Whimp lyrics

Monday (Monday)

Late again today,
He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry.
He'd have to hurry out - to the bus.

Tuesday (Tuesday).

Horace was so sad,
He'd never had a girl that he could care for.
And if he was late once more,
He'd be out

Chorus

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well, he just stood there - mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above, said,
Horace Wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find, yourself a wife
(Come on Horace)
Make a stand, and be a man,
and you will have a great life planned.
(You can do it, come on Horace)

Wednesday.

Horace met the girl.
She was small and she was very pretty.
He thought he was in love,
he was afraid - uh oh.

Thursday.
Asked her for a date,
the cafe down the street, tomorrow evening.
His head was reeling, when she said yes, ok.

Chorus

Friday,
Horace this is it!
He asks the girl if maybe, they could marry.
When she says gladly, Horace cries - boo hoo.

Sunday
Everybody's at the church,
When Horace rushes in,
and says "now here comes my wife,
for the rest of my life"
and she did.

Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well, he just stood there - mumblin' a-fumblin'
Then a voice from above, said,
Horace Wimp, this is your wife,
Go out and find, yourself a life
(You can do it)
Make a stand, and be a man,
and you will have a great life planned
(Horace Wimp)
Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace,
Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace, Horace,

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday
repeat to fade....
