Barber John Lyrics by Bryan MacLean

ifyoubelievein

1997

[Verse 1]
Come along with me
Want you to hear what the barber says
He may be speaking of something nice
Listen to Barber John
And it’s John, John
[???] and he’s my friend John
Guess that I know we could find him here
Can you see him now ?
[Chorus]
‘Cause he knows all of the coolest places
The coolest people, the coolest guy that I know
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pa
[Verse 2]
And you just can’t keep from liking John
He’s more than glad to turn you on
Deep down inside we all believe he’s nice
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pa
And I guess I really like him too
I tend to end up turning to him
Every time I need some good advice
[Chorus]
‘Cause he’s not the sort of man who worries
But if he says that he’s in a hurry
You can bet that there is something on his mind
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
And he won’t try hard to retain you friendship
But if he likes you, you best believe that
A better friend would be difficult to find
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pa
[Verse 3]
And remember John
John is a person who puts things well
He can afford to be kind, and tell
Each of us we’re okay
And it’s John, John, what are you thinking, my clever John
Couldn’t you find anything to say
That’ll be the day
[Chorus]
[???] that image of indifference, John
Thus indifference you’ll receive yourself one day
For you know that down inside you’re really wishing, John
You could help see though it alone our way
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
Ram pam pam pa-pam
Ra-pa-pam pa pa-pa-pa-pam
Ra-pa-pum pa pa-pa pam
And of course you won’t begrudge us each our silence, John
If we seem overwhelmed by what you say
For you know you’d nick us with the truth, now wouldn’t you, John
But the truth is true and I can’t take that away
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
Ra-pa-pa-pam pa-pam
[Verse 4]
And remember John
John is a person who puts things well
He can afford to be kind, and tell
Each of us we’re okay
And it’s John, John, [ ???] on a walk, and he’s my friend John
Guess in some ways I could envy him
Can you hear him now ?
Here’s to you, my friend
We’ll meet again, and it won’t be long
We don’t make a habit of being wrong
Do we, Barber John ?
Do we, Barber John ?
So long, Barber John...
