The Ballad Of Charles Whitman - Kinky Friedman[00:00:00]

He was sitting up there for more than an hour[00:00:00]

Way up there on the texas tower[00:00:04]

Shooting from the twenty seventh floor yahoo[00:00:06]

He didn't choke or slash or slit them[00:00:11]

Not our charles joseph whitman[00:00:13]

He won't be an architect no more[00:00:15]

Got up that morning calm and cool[00:00:19]

He picked up his guns and walked to school[00:00:24]

All the while he smiled so sweetly[00:00:28]

And it blew their minds completely[00:00:30]

Theyd never seen an eagle scout so cruel[00:00:33]

Now won't you think for the shame and degradation[00:00:37]

For the schools administration[00:00:39]

He put on such a bold and brassy show[00:00:41]

The chance looked right[00:00:45]

It's adolescent[00:00:47]

And of course it's most unpleasant[00:00:48]

But I got to admit it was a lovely way to go[00:00:50]

There was a rumor about a tumor[00:00:54]

Nestled at the base of his brain[00:00:58]

He was sitting up there with his 36 magnum[00:01:03]

Laughing wildly as he bagged 'em[00:01:05]

Who are we to say the boys insane[00:01:08]

Now Charlie was awful disappointed[00:01:29]

Else he thought he was anointed[00:01:31]

To do a deed so lowdown and so mean[00:01:34]

The students looked up from their classes[00:01:38]

Had to stop and rub their glasses[00:01:40]

Whod believe hed once been a marine[00:01:42]

Now Charlie made the honor roll with ease[00:01:47]

Most all of his grades was as and bs[00:01:51]

A real rip snorting trigger squeezer[00:01:56]

Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser[00:01:58]

Though he had been known to make a couple cs[00:02:00]

Some were dying some were weeping[00:02:04]

Some were studying some were sleeping[00:02:07]

Some were shouting texas 1[00:02:09]

Some were running[00:02:13]

Some were falling[00:02:14]

Some were screaming some were balling[00:02:15]

Some thought the revolution had begun[00:02:18]

The doctors tore his poor brain down[00:02:22]

But not a snitch of illness could be found[00:02:27]

Most folks couldn't figure just a why he did it[00:02:31]

And them that could would not admit it[00:02:33]

Theres still a lot of eagle scouts around[00:02:36]

There was a rumor about a tumor[00:02:40]

Nestled at the base of his brain[00:02:44]

He was sitting up there with his 36 magnum[00:02:48]

Laughing wildly as he bagged 'em[00:02:51]

Who are we to say the boys in[00:02:54]

Who are we to say the boys in[00:02:56]

Who are we to say the boys insane[00:02:58]
