BenGali85's video: 05 Who is John - No Schedule - by Mark Basso

Fifth song from my album "No Schedule." [click "Show more" for lyrics!] Written, arranged, recorded, and mixed by Mark Basso. Performed by Mark Basso - ukulele, vocals, bass, classical guitar, tambourine, celery, tortilla chips, harmonica, bongos Went to a party, all of my good old friends were there We started talking about games of tag and truth or dare Don't you remember the way that we all used to talk? Meetings at recess, chingin' dudes from a chain link fence I told them that story, they laughed and I sat down to hear who's next When he started talking, I didn't know quite who he meant Who is John? Some old friend that I can't place Who is John? I've no memory of his face "You've got to be kidding!" she said. "Although it was quite a while ago, you used to see him almost every day. You even sat in the same row." We kept on talking, I tried to picture my 4th grade class "John was in there," he said. "I could have sworn you guys were friends." "The picture is hazy. I admit it's hard to believe that I forgot." They thought I'd remember—I think it's clear that I do not. Who is John? My old friend that I can't place Who is John? Just my friend with the blank face Do-dun-do-doo, da-da-doo da-da-doo, do-do doot, da-doom Do-dun-do-doo, da-da-doo da-da-doo, do-do doot My mind wandered on thinking about what they all said Had I really forgotten this guy they said was my friend? I wracked my brain, reaching back to no avail Grabbed a handful resigned to the fact that my memory's failed Who is John? My old friend with the blank face Who is John? I can't picture him any place Do-dun-do-doo, da-da-doo da-da-doo, do-do doot, da-doom Do-dun-do-doo-doo, da-da-doo da-da-doo, do-do doot Left the party, said goodbye to all my friends Hugs and handshakes will have to suffice till we meet again Trading stories from a fun and simple time Still, I wish I remembered this old long-lost friend of mine Who is John? My old friend that I can't place Who is John? I've no memory of his face That's when it hit me, like a shot from out of the blue A crystal clear picture of John Man, I feel like such a fool! I know John, curly hair and freckled face I know John - I would know him any place © & ℗ 2009, 2010, 2011 Mark Basso. All Rights Reserved.
