Chorus:
Did ye ken John Peel with his wit so droll
Did ye ken John Peel with his music bold
Did ye ken John Peel and the truths he told
Oh so early on Saturday morning

        Well I heard John Peel on the BBC
        And I knew when he spoke it was meant for me
        And I always thought he would ever be
        On the air every Saturday morning

Chorus

        Did ye ken John Peel with his gravelly voice
        Did ye ken John Peel with his bands of choice
        You can call it hip; you can call it noise
        But you never could say it was boring

Chorus

        Did ye ken John Peel and his modest ways
        Did ye ken his sublimely eclectic taste
        Did ye stay up nights far too many days
        Though ye still had to work in the morning

Chorus

        Do ye ken John still does a brilliant show
        But ye won't find it on the radio
        Now he spins his tunes where they all have soul
        But we'll miss him on Saturday morning

Chorus
