Lyrics Ray Davies – The Ballad Of Julie Finkle
Text:
I first met Julie a long time ago
Staring up at me from the front row
She had a timeless glow, she was the image of youth
That never grows old or gets long in the tooth
That good fortune would smile my way
She’s a symbol of all that I believe in
She was there at the beginning, she’s still out there today
Julie, Julie, I hope that you’re still single
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
(Woohooh…)
After me she went with a biker from Stoke
Had a child with a banker from Bolton
I hear she ended up with a really nice bloke
Who’s respectable now, so my silence is golden
To protect her and him I’ve used a pseudonym
But I hope she gets the vital connection
It was a long time ago, but I want you to know
Julie, you were the pick of a prime selection
Julie, Julie, I hope that you’re still single
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
(Woohooh…)
But keep looking for your love
(Woohooh…)
Truly, Julie, you’re only a name
You could be a Molly or a Sarah-Jane
But if I should never see you again
I’ll never forget you, truly
Julie, Julie, I hope that you’re still single
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
Keep looking for your love
(Woohooh…)
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
