JILTED JOHN
(J.G. John)

Jilted John - 1978



I've been goin' out with a girl
Her name is Julie
But last night she said to me
When we were watching telly
This is what she said

She said, "Listen, John I love you
But there's this bloke I fancy
I don't want to two-time you
So it's the end for you and me"

"Who's this bloke?" I saked her
"Gordon" she replied
"Not that pup?" I said, dismayed
"Yes, but he's no pup" she cried
"He's more of a man than you'll ever be!"

Here we go, two-three-four

I was so upset that I cried
All the way to the chip shop
When I came out, there was Gordon
Standin' at the bus stop

And guess who was with him? Yeah, Julie
And they was both laughin' at me

Oh, she is cruel and heartless
To pack me for Gordon
Just 'cause he's better lookin' than me
Just 'cause he's cool and trendy

But I know he's a moron
Gordon is a moron
Gordon is a moron
Gordon is a moron

Here we go, two-three-four

Oh, she's a slag and he's a creep
She's a tart, he's very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks he's tough
She is a bitch, he is a puff
Yeah-yeah, it's not fair
Yeah-yeah, it's not fair

I'm so upset
I'm so upset
I'm so upset
Yeah-yeah

I ought to smash his face in
Yeah, but he's bigger than me, ain' he
I know, I'll get my mate Barry to hit him, he'd flatten him
Yeah, but Barry's a mate of Gordon's, ain' he

Oh well, I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Cause she's a slag and he's a creep
She's a tart, he's very cheap
She is a slut ........... FADE
