Paroles

What I tell you?
That courthouse statue
Confederate soldier
You seen the TV news last night?

We ain't got a TV set

Found the headless body in Choo Choo Bayou
Wrapped in a flag
In the muddy stars and bars

Anybody said
What happened to the head?

Can't find the head
They's agitated
"Johnny Reb's decapitated!"
Dredged the bayou
Lakefront, too
Trawlers, spotlights, minesweepers

Dang

Oh, uh-huh
The whole shebang
Bloodhounds bayin'
Makin' noise
They say it was "hoodlums" done it
They means colored boys

But they ain't said who?

No
Not a clue
Tell you what
Whoever did it?
Good for 'em
I hope they burnt it
In a trash incinerator
Fed it to an alligator
Ugly thing
Ugly thing
The South's Defender
Hey, Cracker Joe
Lee surrendered
The thing is over, baby!
Dead!
Don't cry
And kiss that huge ugly head goodbye

Yeah
Let it be, for goodness sakes
Heads go missin'
Them's the breaks
Stakes ain't high

My eye they ain't
They gon' keep lookin
Some of them is vexed as snakes
And trouble comin'

And someone gone and killed that man
That crazy man
Who killed the President
Right on TV
Saw that picture
In the paper
Shot by a bullet
Look like it hurt
We ain't got a TV set, not yet
We only got a radio

Okay, go
Time to bring them pancakes out
They dips them in the applesauce
Take the tray, don't be spillin'
Carve the goose
Let's be trekkin'
