The Lyrics

standing just out side the apartment
left the studio just by chance
the guy with a laugh said can you autograph
then he shot him said he was entranced
christ you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
to kick out a gun man
you gotta be with bruce lee


people sitting outside on the terrace,
asking hey yoko why not?
take your leg and just kick
the gun away from that dick
and save old john from getting all shot,
hey, I guess it's not easy,
but hey how hard can it be?
they way things were going
you coulda kicked like bruce lee


drove away in limos to the coroners room
laying there in state for a week
the newspapers said, it's true john lennon is dead
the only thing with no chance is the peace
hey, I guess it's not easy,
but hey how hard can it be?
they way things were going
you coulda kicked like bruce lee

spending all his money in your crazy ways
giving nothing much to charity
last night, some guy said
hey boy, when you're dead you don't take nothing with you but shot holes...
Think!

do we cremate or inter him?
mummify and place in a bag?
the newspapers tell
the story "WHO SHOT J.L.?
Mark Daid Chapman, why did you do the bang bang?
hey, I guess it's not easy,
but hey how hard can it be?
they way things were going
you coulda kicked like bruce lee
they way things were going
you coulda kicked like bruce lee
they way things were going
you coulda kicked like bruce lee

Great job. I can still remmeber what I was doing and where I was when this unfortunate event happened.

Wasn't everyone watching Monday Night Football? (Howard Cosell delivered the shocking news. The next day, the NY Post ran a front page picture of Lennon on a slab at the morgue.)
