Woodrow may refer to:
The Woodrow was a British cyclecar manufactured in Stockport from 1913 to 1915.
The 1913 cars were powered by a choice of water or air-cooled V twin engine of 964 cc made by JAP, with a three-speed gearbox and chain drive to a back axle that was unusually, for cyclecars of the time, fitted with a differential).
In 1914 or possibly 1915 the engine was replaced by a larger V twin, water-cooled only, of 1090 cc from the Precision Motor Cycle company.
A sports version was also made with a very long tapered bonnet. The cars were quite large by cyclecar standards, with a width of 48 inches (1219 mm) and length of 130 inches (3302 mm).
Simon Townsend's Wonder World! was a multi-award-winning Australian children's television show that aired on Network Ten from 1979 until 1986. It was hosted by journalist Simon Townsend.
Each episode of Simon Townsend's Wonder World! featured an introduction by Townsend as the studio host, accompanied by his pet and companion bloodhound Woodrow (Woodrow died in 1986 and was replaced at first with a sulphur-crested cockatoo and then with a baby Labrador retriever. A competition was run amongst the viewers to name the new puppy and seeing as though Townsend had recently won a Logie award, the puppy was named Logie.) Simon would then present four individual magazine-style stories, each presented by a different reporter.
The stories covered any and every subject imaginable, from the most amazing pets, to the meaning of one hand clapping. Two researchers, two cinematographers, two sound recordists, four reporters and four editors worked on the time equivalent of a feature film every week – about eighty minutes of screen time shot on 16mm reversal film. Stories were not scripted, relying upon the ingenuity of the reporter and the two-man crew. If a story fell through the trio found another; no-one ever returned to the office at the end of the day without two stories. Every show also contained a viewer segment, and a music segment – often produced by the program itself. For instance Simon Townsend's Wonder World! made the first ever music video to feature Australian band INXS. During the course of the series, Townsend and his reporters traveled all over Australia and to many and varied locations in America, the UK, Europe, India, Asia and the Pacific region.

Plot: Bellflower follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. Literally all their free time is spent building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang "Mother Medusa". While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love. Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies. Often life's simplest and most obvious truths are the hardest to see, but once you've burned everything to the ground it may be the only thing left standing.

Genres: Comedy,When people twist your words, Woodrow, ah, they'll
twist at every whim
It's thugs that run the unions now and use your songs
like hymns
Once, your music danced on women's thighs and the arch
of a hobo's brow- ow
Aw, Mrs. Guthrie look what they done to your brown-eyed
baby now
Oh, the trains leave every morning, some go east and
some go west
And the clacking of the iron is the sound you love the
best
It's the great escape from railroad bulls and the Coney
Island girl s
Aw, Mrs. Guthrie, look what we done to your brown eyed
boy with curls
Chorus:
Sing the truth, scream it loud (2nd time: sing it loud)
Aw, Mrs. Guthrie, look what they done to your brown-
eyed baby now
(2nd time: we done)
All those boxcars full of Chinese junk, the caboose has
been junk piled
And we're all buying g roceries now from men with
crooked smiles
You were a drunken, wild mis ogyneer and your politics
were crude
As you s at home writing nursery rhymes and drawing
women nude
And all those politicians breaths stink bad, be they
left or be they right
And the ones who play with rhetoric are not the ones to
fight
Don't go coming 'round here, Woodrow, they'll stretch
you from a rope
And your corpse won't ever find a bar where a man can
drink and smoke
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental (chorus)
C G C Em
Did you hear the scre en door sl am, Ma, Woodrow' s
gone again
G C G Em
He's writin' obscene letters now, the Feds might bring
him in
C G Em D
But every song he ever wrote is hangin' on the bree ze
C G C D G
With the l aundry in the Guthrie yard full of Hunting
ton's dis ease
C G C Em
So, Woodrow, rest in peace, old pal, there ain't
nothin' for you here
G C G Em
We're in the scrub oak country now, the land of dread
an' fear
C G Em D
And whitey's in the wood pile and the writing's on the
wall
C G C D G
But your ring of truth still echoes down the Greystone
clinic hall
Repeat Chorus
So here's to all outsiders, all the ones who could not
The troubadour, the prisoners, the drunken Ind ian
Ah, the circus freaks, the wounded lovers will make it
through someh ow
Ah, Mrs. Guthrie, we are ridin' blind with your brown
eyed baby now
Sing the truth scream it loud
Ah, Mrs. Guthrie, look what we done to your brown-eyed
baby now
Sing the truth, scream it l oud
Ah, Mrs. Guthrie, look w hat we done to your brown-eyed
