A dungburnt country

Johhnys gone, And may he not rest in peace

The villain exits
stage right is the call
but he hogs the stage
awaiting applause

None is forthcoming
Not even a fart
Noise is wasted
on that evil heart

Played to it's full
but taken too far
a jobbing actor
who wanted to star

But now he falls
and breaks his leg
this curtain's closed
we can grow again
