I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape - The Times

Once, long ago

Was a man, who made a TV show

Spent, all his savings

Every penny, so that we would know

But, this poor man

Had few fans, and his boss wouldn’t pay him

So, I thought up

A way for him to escape

I helped Patrick Mc

Goohan escape

Now he’s added from the human race

Yes he is

Yes he is

Hooooooooo

We, made sure

That the rovers were fast asleep

And number two, was at it to

Making his plans to kidnap Paul McCartney

We took a bus

We took a boat

And finally we took a train

And ran away, to the USA

That’s where he’s been until this day

I helped Patrick McGoohan escape

He lives next door to the man in a suitcase

Yes he does

Yes he does

Where am I?

In the village

What do you want?

Information

You won’t get it!

By hook or by crook, we will

Who’s side are you on?

That would be telling

Who are you?

The new number two

Who is umber one?

You are number six

I am not a number, I am a free man

(mad laughing through)

I will not be pushed,

Filed,

Stamped,

Indexed,

Briefed,

Debriefed,

Or numbered,

pushed,

Filed,

Stamped,

Indexed,

Briefed,

Debriefed,

Or numbered,

My life is my own

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

I helped Patrick McGoohan escape

Now he’s added from the human race

I helped Patrick McGoohan escape

He lives next door to the man in a suitcase

Take me home
