Lyrics:

The Diary of Horace Wimp
Electric Light Orchestra
Monday
Late again today,
He'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,
He'd have to hurry out
To the bus
Thuesday
Horace was so sad,
He'd never had a girl that he could care for,
And if he was late once more,
He'd be out
Don't be afraid
Just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there
Mumblin and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said:
'Horace wimp,
This is your life,
Go out and find
Yourself a wife,
Make a stand
And be a man,
And you will have
A great life plan.'
Wednesday
Horace met a girl,
She was small and she was very pretty,
He thought he was in love,
He was afraid
Thursday
Asks her for a date,
The café dowm the street tomorrow evening,
His head was reeling,
When she said
'Yes, O.K.'
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said:
'Horace wimp, this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife,
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan.'
Friday
Horace, this is it,
He asks the girl if maybye they could marry,
When she says 'gladly, '
Horace cries.
Saturday
Everybody's at the church,
When Horace rushes in and says
'Now here comes my wife,
For the rest of my life, '
And she did.
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said:
'Horace wimp,
This is your life,
Go out and find
Yourself a wife,
Make a stand
And be a man,
And you will have
A great life plan.'
