I Left My Heart In Papworth General Songtext / Lyric

Precious McKenzie, boy I remember you well

Gob full of tapioca, I would sit and I'd watch you excel

Those legendary rivulets would trickle on down to your chin

But I always wondered what you did when you packed it all in



What are you doing today?

What have you done with the money?

How much did Singleton pay?

Do you think you were misunderstood?

I do.






Down at Stoke Mandeville I bumped into Mr IQ

I said “Hey albino, this is not 1972

Stub out your King Edward and get that small boy off your knee

And melt down your fingerware and get yourself off my TV”



Jim could you fix it for me

To come down and suck out your kidneys?

I've got this young brother, you see

Who wants to stay alive to watch Bilko



When I'm pining for a cigarette

I think of all the free ones that I'd get

If I killed myself and came back as a beagle



I left my heart in Papworth General
