go round again Benny Hill
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The [C]couple looked down at their newborn child in their shack that was
falling to [G7]bits,
The mother said, "Let's call it Johnny," the father said, "Let's call it
[C]quits."
And when Johnny was four, his pa was too poor to buy toys from the
[C7]Christmas shop [F]shelves,
So he just fired his gun and he [C]told his young son Father [G7]Christmas
had shot him[C]self.
Now [C]one day his ma took him to a fair and he went on a round-a[G7]bout,
He giggled with glee, "I wanna go wee!" Everyone heard the boy [C]shout.
She took him by the hand, from the fairground they ran, she took him be-
[C7]hind a big [F]tree,
She said, "There, shut your row, you can [C]go wee now," he took a
[G7]deep breath and went, "[C]Wheeee!"
Then he said, "[C]Please can I go 'round again, ma? Please can I go
'round a[G7]gain?
Oh, I love the sound of the merry-go-round, please let me go 'round
a[C]gain?
I'll do all of my homework, I'll even kiss [C7]old Auntie [F]Gwen,
And I won't shout out loud, ma, [C]I'll make you proud, [G7]please let
me go 'round a[C]gain."
At [C]twelve he danced with his gym mistress, she said, "Johnny, you're
wicked and you're [G7]bad,
I wish I was your ma for just half an hour," John said, "I'll have a word
with my [C]dad."
Then someone dropped a lit cigarette down the back of her dress but
[C7]she didn't [F]shout,
She just walked off the floor and she [C]said, "What a bore, I shall
[G7]just have to sit this one [C]out."
And Johnny said, "[C]Please can we go 'round again, Miss Rhodes, please
can we go 'round a[G7]gain?
I've not been this close to a woman before and heck knows when I will
a[C]gain.
Oh, I tell you true, I could dance with you 'til the cows come [C7]home
and [F]then,
I could dance with the cows, so [C]please, Miss Rhodes, [G7]please let
me go 'round a[C]gain."
At [C]18, Irene with the hourglass figure got him in a heck of a [G7]fix,
Her pa came 'round and Johnny was found with his hands on a quarter to
[C]six.
They were married the next day in the church by the bay, 10 a.m., the
[C7]15th of [F]June,
She looked lovely in white as she said, "[C]Johnny, tonight " He said,
"To [G7]heck with tonight, this after[C]noon!"
"[C]Then can we go 'round again? In the meantime can we go 'round
a[G7]gain?
I tell ya I haven't felt like this since I can't remember [C]when.
And seein' you lay there beside me, oh it damn near [C7]blows my
[F]mind,
Oh please can we go 'round a[C]gain and again, and then [G7]'round
again one more [C]time?"
Johnny's [C]mother-in-law came to live next door, she had a tongue that
stung like a [G7]bee,
She said, "I'll dance on your grave," Johnny said, "That's brave, 'cause
I'm gonna be buried at [C]sea."
At 50 he took to coming home late, he wasn't a [C7]creature of [F]habit.
If he came home early his wife thought he was [C]up to something, if he
came home [G7]late she thought that he'd [C]had it.
He was [C]just 91 on the day he passed on, it was the way that he hoped it
would [G7]be,
He was shot by a beauty queen's husband in a fit of jealous[C]y.
As he lay on the floor a priest was sent forward, and with his last breath
[C7]Johnny con[F]fessed,
"I spent all of my money on [C]woman and drink and like a [G7]fool I
squandered the [C]rest."
"[C]Lord, can I go 'round again? Please can I go 'round a[G7]gain?
Oh, I can't believe that I'll never see your sky or your trees a[C]gain.
Oh, the girls and the wine and the living were fine, I shouldn't com-
[C7]plain but [F]then,
You give damned short rides on this [C]fairground of yours, Lord, oh
[G7]please let me go 'round a[C]gain."
This is one in a series of Benny Hill songs I've learned by ear. Most of
these songs have only three chords which makes it easy figure them out. I
might have missed some chords or put the wrong ones down, but the basic
structure is there at any rate. I welcome any comments, corrections or
suggestions for improvement.
