There is also this one from the book :– "Sitting in the Sun. Original songs, tunes, poems, stories from Cleveland" by Angel Publications. 1992. The page that had the tune on is now missing from the book so all I have left is the words! I have to say, I know the feeling well!! Jake *********************** I've Forgotten the words by John Lawson I've often been called on to sing from the floor I launch into a song that you've all heard before, Then I suddenly stop! .. You can hear a pin drop…. Is it senile dementia, a loose fitting denture? La laa la-la la la La laa la-la la la Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! I've been practicing this song for days and for days Nearly drove our lass mad, it's a wonder she stays On the way here tonight. .. I got all the words right… But, when I get up here they just seem to disappear … La laa la-la la la La laa la-la la la Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! Is it 'nerves' make my memory fail? Would it help to relax if I drank some more ale? Or was it that blond there that made my mind wander? Three more pints of booze, would just help to confuse ! La laa la-la la la La laa la-la la la Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! I apologize now if I've caused you distress Embarrassed you all when I've got in this mess There are three verses yet … How they go I forget … I'll admit defeat now, go back to my seat now La laa la-la la la La laa la-la la la Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words! Ooh no!, I've forgotten the words!
