Arthur - Hoodoo Gurus

Arthur played the bass

He had an angel’s face

He jived with the Hoodoos, man

No-one could take his place

No, no, no

Oh, oh

Whoa-oh

He needed extra cash

So he drove his brother’s cab

The day we heard the news, you know

It really hit us bad

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It was the day that Arthur died

Was the day that Arthur died

A black gelato van (Black gelato van)

Finished for the day (For the day)

It met with Arthur’s taxi head-on

Down St. Kilda-way

By the Prince of Wales, hey

That was the way that Arthur died

Upon the day that Arthur died

I cried

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Arthur played the bass

He had an angel’s face, well

He jived with the Hoodoo Gurus and you know

No ones ever gonna take his ever-loving place

No, no, not me, not anyone here

Since the day that Arthur died

Ever since the day that Arthur died

Ever since the day that Arthur died
