The limousine was waiting
Outside the studio
In stepped poor john Lennon

And his wife Yoko
Ono - Not John


On up 44th Street
Left at 8th avenue
Up to the Dakota

A man waits there for you
Oh no - Yes John


The man's name is Chap-man
Comes from Honolulu
He really loved your music John

Got a Japanese wife to
Oh no - poor Sean
Five bullets in your body

That's what the experts say
They say you signed an autograph
For him on that very day

Oh no - not John

There was a vigil at the Roosevelt

At the Dakota too
Silence in Central Park
They had a riot in Liverpool

Now Chapman is in the jailhouse
What's he doing there?
He went and he shot John Lennon

All you heroes best be aware
Oh no - not John


The limousine was waiting
Outside the studio
In stepped poor john Lennon

And his wife Yoko
Ono - not John
