I Just Shot John Lennon

It's the fearful night of December eighth,
He was returning home
from the studio, late
He had perceptively known
that it wouldn't be nice
'Cause in nineteen-eighty, he paid the priiice

John Lennon died, John Lennon died,
John Lennon diiiiiiied!
John Lennon died, John Lennon died,
John Lennon diiiiiiied!
With a Smith & Wesson, thirty-eight
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home,
he should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared

He said, "I Just Shot John Lennon!"
He said, "I Just Shot John Lennoon!"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night,

Oh! What a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
What a sad and sorry and sickening night!

Ah ah ah aah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aah
Ah ah ah aah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aah
"I Just Shot John Lennon!"
He said, "I Just Shot John Lennoon!"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night,

Oh! What a sad and sorry and sickening sight,
What a sad and sorry and sickening night!

Ah ah ah aah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aah
Ah ah ah aah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aah
