Orenthal James (Was a Mighty Bad Man)

歌詞

Well, Orenthal James, he was a mighty bad man Killed two people last night Chopped off their heads in West L.A. Must have been a mighty sharp knife, poor boy Must have been a mighty sharp knife Yeah, one was his ex-wife, the other one, her lover Orenthal was a very jealous man Hid in the bushes and began to mutter "If I can't have her, nobody else can" "If I can't have her, nobody else can" (Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy) Well, he flew to Chicago, two cuts on his hand The bodies discovered too fast His out-of-town alibi gone up in smoke Now we find out he got a wife-beatin' past Found out he got a wife-beatin' past (Poor boy, poor boy) Yeah, they threw him in jail and they brought him to trial Orenthal hired million-dollar attorneys Told so many lies, I almost went blind If he didn't do it, who did, poor boy If he didn't do it, who did? (Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy) 1, 2, 3, 4 Yeah Poor boy Well, Orenthal had a motive and an opportunity, too Planned it all and tried to escape Wrote a suicide note but he wasn't man enough Speak the truth and sealed his fate, poor boy Speak the truth and sealed his fate (Poor boy, poor boy) Yeah, there was blood in the car and blood on his clothes Though they never did find that knife Smiled for the cameras and bought him some justice He got away with killin' his wife, poor boy He got away with killin' his wife (Poor boy, poor boy) Poor boy (poor boy, poor boy) When the foreman returned and he said, "Not guilty" I couldn't believe my ears Orenthal James is a mighty bad man Ought to be in jail for 400 years Servin' time for 400 years (Poor boy, poor boy) I gotta tell you one more thing (Poor boy, poor boy) Yeah, Orenthal James killed his bimbo ex-wife Mama of his children, too Been in Hollywood so long he starts to believe the big lie Don't let that happen to you, poor boy Don't let that happen to you, poor boy Don't let that happen to you, poor boy Don't let that happen to you (poor boy, poor boy) Poor boy (poor boy) Poor boy (poor boy) Poor boy, poor boy Poor boy, poor boy Poor boy (poor boy, poor boy, poor boy) Well, Orenthal James, he was a mighty bad man He killed two people last night Chopped off their heads in West L.A. Must have been a mighty sharp knife, poor boy Must have been a mighty sharp knife
