What did I tell you?
That courthouse statue
Confederate soldier?
You see the TV news last night?
We ain't got a TV
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, spotlight, minesweepers
Dang!
Oh, uh huh
The whole shabang
Bloodhounds bayin'
Making noise
The say it was hoodlums done it
They mean colored boys
But they ain't say who?
Nope, not a clue
Tell you what?
Whoever done it
Good for 'em
I hope they burnt it
In a trash incinerator
Fed it to an aligator
Ugly thing
Ugly thing
"The south's defender"
He- he- hey, Cracker Joe!
Lee surrendered
The thing is over, baby
Dead!
Don't cry
And kiss that huge, ugly head good-bye
Yeah, let it be
For goodness sake
Head's go missing
Them's the breaks
Stakes ain't high
Ooh, my eye they ain't
They'll keep looking
Some of them is vexed as snakes
And trouble coming
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 applesauces
Take the tray out
Don't be spilling
Carve the goose
And let's be trekking
