The Ballad Of Julie Finkle

(album: The Storyteller - 1998)

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
And who would think after all these years
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
(Woohooh...)

Keep looking for your love
(Woohooh...)

Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
