Did You See His Name? Lyrics
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
Incidentally, did you see his name
In the obituary 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?
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
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
His employer was absolved of blame
His world just crumbled down
Incidentally, did you see his name
In the obituary 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
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?
