Lyrics I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape - The Times

I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape

Once, long ago
Was a man, who made a TV show
Spent, all his savings
Every penny, so that we would know
But, this poor man
Had few fans, and his boss wouldn’t pay him
So, I thought up
A way for him to escape
I helped Patrick Mc
Goohan escape
Now he’s added from the human race
Yes he is
Yes he is
Hooooooooo
We, made sure
That the rovers were fast asleep
And number two, was at it to
Making his plans to kidnap Paul McCartney
We took a bus
We took a boat
And finally we took a train
And ran away, to the USA
That’s where he’s been until this day
I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
He lives next door to the man in a suitcase
Yes he does
Yes he does
Where am I?
In the village
What do you want?
Information
You won’t get it!
By hook or by crook, we will
Who’s side are you on?
That would be telling
Who are you?
The new number two
Who is umber one?
You are number six
I am not a number, I am a free man
(mad laughing through)
I will not be pushed,
Filed,
Stamped,
Indexed,
Briefed,
Debriefed,
Or numbered,
pushed,
Filed,
Stamped,
Indexed,
Briefed,
Debriefed,
Or numbered,
My life is my own
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
Now he’s added from the human race
I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
He lives next door to the man in a suitcase
Take me home
