I knew a man, his name was Ross
He ripped his pants running from the cops
He ran so fast he escaped their clutches
But he sprained his leg and wound up on crutches
One day he was insulted by a man named Fred
So he took his crutch and hit him in the back of the head
An ambulance came to rescue Fred
But when he got to the hospital, they pronounced Fred dead
Now, Ross was a pretty clever man
So he went out and found a man named Dan
Now, Dan was a man with a very hot head
And so Ross told him that he'd been insulted
By the man named Fred. So Dan told Ross
That he wanted to make Fred dead
By clubbing him across the back of the head
Then Ross could put his murder alibi in order
For he had recorded Dan's threat with a tape recorder
And sent the tape to the police through the mial
So the cops threw hot-headed Dan in Jail!
So the judge told Dan in jail he'd stay
And he sat there still, until yesterday
Dan was foolish and his head was hot
So good ol' Ross was never caught
Sometimes the law just ain't so fair
Cause they're taking Dan to the electric chair
He'd caused a fight and he k**ed a guard
So his punishment was very hard
Ross heard the story on the radio
So the truth the cops will never know
Ross laughed out loud till his face turned red
When he heard that Dan was finally dead
I made up this story and it ain't so nice
But I'm sure that its really happened once or twice
