The ballad of 'Dear John' ft. Eva Rosa Lyrics

There once was a man

Who lived in a van

And one day he stopped watching TV

He drove to the coast to kill his last TV host

And ever since he just looked at the sea

And all the fish in the sea that came by

He gave them a name

And when a fisherman called the man John in a song

All the fish in the sea sang the same

Well John became famous among all the fish

In fact famous with all in the sea

Cause he was the man that could make one stand out

And provide them with Identity

Stories kept spreading his name and his fame

And soon the anonymous came

Cause they all had heard about the Man in the Van

And they now requested their name

The coast became crowded and people all shouted

As they tried to reach out for him

As soon John decided they were never invited

He said bye and went for a swim

And to all the bewildered people ashore

Still singing the song of Dear John

He said dear folks I'm sorry, my name isn't John

But the song you just sang is spot on

I'm your preacher, Your teacher, Your con

Oh dear John where do you come from

Oh dear John preacher or a con
