"Honest John" fue una canción eliminada de la película animada, Pinocho.
La canción nunca tuvo la intención de ser cantada en la película, sino que fue una "canción de explotación" hecha a pedido del editor Irving Berlin, Inc. para su uso en la campaña promocional de la película; otras canciones de esta categoría son "Jiminy Cricket" y "Monstro the Whale". Sin embargo, la melodía de la canción se puede escuchar en el subrayado de la película cuando los niños se apiñan para comprar puros en La sala de Tabaco en La isla de los juegos.
La canción se incluyó como un bono en los lanzamientos de la película en DVD Blu-Ray y Platinum Edition de 2009.
Letra[]
Coro: Honrado Juan, they call him Honest John But I wouldn't trust him as far as I could Throw an elephant over my shoulder Throw a curve with a 10-ton boulder
Honest John, look out for Honest John
'Cause he's only honest by reputation
Though you'll find him in church on Sunday,
He'll steal pennies from a blind man Monday
Any old time that anything is gone,
Look for Honest John
There is one in every city
One in every neighborhood
He's doing well, but to hear him tell
He's always doing good
He belongs to all the lodges
Wears a politician's smile
Any time that you run into him
It's time to run a mile
Honrado Juan: (hablado) I'm Honest John, they call me Honest John.
Coro: But I wouldn't trust him as far as I'd trust Robert Taylor with my new honey Or a burglar with all my money
Honrado Juan: (hablado) Honest John, my friend. They call me Honest John
Coro: But don't ask him out to your house because he'll Steal the bulbs right out of their sockets He's so crooked, he'd pick his own pockets
(verso hablado)
Honrado Juan: Well, musical sweet potatoes, hmm? Might bring a nice track and of course, no one would ever suspect Honest John...
Policía: Calling all cars, calling all cars - four musical sweet potatoes missing. When last seen? In eyes by Honest John. Look for Honest John. That is all.
(continua canción)
Coro: Any old time that anything is gone... Look for Honest John!
