Electric Light Orchestra — The Diary Of Horace Wimp

Monday
Late again today
He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry
He'd have to hurry out to the bus...

Tuesday
Horace was so sad
He'd never had a girl that he could care for
And if he was late once more
He'd be out

Don't be afraid
Just knock on the door
well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'
then a voice from above said
Horace Wimp, this is your life
go out and find yourself a wife
make a stand
and be a man
and you will have a great life plan

Wednesday
Horace met a girl
She was small and she was very pretty
He thought he was in love, he was afraid

Thursday
Asks her for a date
the café down the street tomorrow evening
his head was reeling when she said "yes, ok"

Don't be afraid
Just knock on the door
well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'
then a voice from above said
Horace Wimp, this is your life
go out and find yourself a wife
make a stand
and be a man
and you will have a great life plan

Friday
Horace, this is it,
he asks the girl if maybe they could marry
when she says "gladly" Horace cries boohoo

Sunday
Everybody's at the church
when Horace rushes in and says "now here comes my wife, for the rest of my life", and she did...
