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
