The Lyrics

bystanders teem, yes, yes
whinin' bullets start to scream
and without a sound, he slumps to the right
chances are he'll lose this fight
big scar...big fear
oswald runs away from here

well...
horror grows as...people find
wild rifle shots from lee have occurred
on a tragic car trip ride
JFK's shot...fatally
just by a lone man, some agree
other folks think differently

some surmise there...
were more guys there...
that surrounded JFK

that night our country's eyes were damp
a little more than just dismayed
before the cops could question lee
well, ruby came and blew that creep away
he took...him down
the lousy bastard's in the ground

well...
horror grows as...people find
wild rifle shots from lee have occurred
on a tragic car trip ride
JFK's shot...fatally
just by a lone man, some agree
other folks think differently

some surmise there...
were more guys there...
that surrounded JFK

Interesting concept!

Too soon? Quite a unique idea for a parody, and excellent internal rhyming. It's not funny, but I'll substitute "clever" for "funny" and this gets 555.

I beleeve Oswald was the lone gunman. I also believe in unicorns and the tooth fairy. And what McKludge said re: "clever."
