lyrics

John Cronin is a man
Who doesn’t take too kindly
To being told by others
What to do or what to say

He’s not a sort of character
About whom songs are written
But I’ll sing you this song
About John Cronin anyway

John Cronin is a man I think
Of this we can be certain
Who feels he's seen a truth
That all the others seem to miss

No corporation tie for John
He'd not be seen dead in one
I fear he feels he's found a way
To prove that he exists

This Cronin is unsound
He doesn’t listen to advice
He seems to think that none of this is
Serious

Habits must he mend
A message must we send

John Cronin is a man
About whom colleagues speak of warmly
But timetables are slipping
And now something has to give

It pains me to inform him
He’s on a final warning
The union has done
The very best it can for him

Now Cronin is unwell
The doctor says he’ll be away for weeks
And who can tell if this is
Serious?

Flowers should we send?
Could this be the end?

John Cronin was a man
Who didn’t take too kindly
To being told by others
What to do or what to say

He’s not a sort of character
About whom songs are written
But I’ll sing you this song
About John Cronin anyway

I’ll sing you this song
About John Cronin anyway now

I’ll sing you this song
About John Cronin anyway

I’ll sing you this song
About John Cronin anyway now

I’ll sing you this song
About John Cronin anyway
