Did You See His Name?

Did you see his name in the local paper

Stole a tin of beans

From a cut-priced grocery store

The judge said he must pay

So he put him on probation

And the paper gave his name

Did you see his name in the criminal section

And the center page

Gave his name and his address

They stopped him doing it again

So they put him to dishonour

And put the man to shame

He lost his little job

His employer was absolved of blame

His world just crumbled down

Incidently, did you see his name

In the obiturary column

Letters edged in black

Life was much too hard to live

So he brought it to an end

In his gas-filled maisonette

Because he couldn't stand the strain

La-la-la-la-la

Life was much too hard to live

So he brought it to an end

In his gas-filled maisonette

Because he couldn't stand the strain

Did you see his name?

Did you see his name?

Did you see his name?
