He was shot at four o'clock
On the steps of the town hall...
In front of a crowd of at least one thousand,
Gathering for his inauguration,
It turned out it was misinformation...
And now they're headed to his funeral...

The shot came from nowhere
Hit 'im right through the heart,
And now the coroner is doin' his part,
Checkin' out the body lookin' for a sign
Of gone and done it and why oh why...

Just when he went to cut him open,
The dead man lifted his head and he spoke and
Said that he was not a victim, not a victim,
Not a victim, not a victim, not a victim.

He was the guilty, the one who deserved
Be thrown in prison for life without parole,
But the coroner, despite his disarray, managed say
"There's no way!"

But the dead man continued on to explain,
He'd hired a hitman to take out his dame,
But he betrayed the hitman and never paid,
And so the hitman took out his rage
With a bullet that took center stage...
Hitting his heart at his inauguration...

Just when he went to cut him open,
The dead man lifted his head and he spoke and
Said that he was not a victim, not a victim,
Not a victim, not a victim, not a victim.

Oh just when he went to cut him open,
The dead man lifted his head and he spoke and
Said that he was not a victim, not a victim,
Not a victim, not a victim, not a victim.

The coroner stood there simply in shock
At the bomb that the dead man just had dropped,
He went to his superiors said what he heard,
His superiors laughed and said "that's absurd!"

The coroner was hellbent on proving the truth,
So he took the dead body to the city hall roof,
He held it up high, to the sky,
And he screamed to the public,
The dead man is alive!

(Oh just when he went to cut him open,
The dead man lifted his head and he spoke and
Said that he was not a victim, not a victim,
Not a victim, not a victim, not a victim.)

The public reacted in various ways,
Some shook their heads and walked away,
Others were curious and chose to stay,
And so the coroner, still dismayed,
Spoke like a madman 'bout what the dead man had said...

And the crowd they listened
And some, the glistened,
And others hissed and
An uproar broke out...

But one man there with his cap pulled down
Over his eyes reacted to the sound
Of the coroner saying what'd been done
And that man stepped forward and stopped the laughter, oh...

He stood in front of the building crowd,
He said that the coroner wasn't wrong,
He said he was the unpaid hitman,
He was the man who killed the dead man,
He was the man who killed the dead man...

(Just when he went to cut him open,
The dead man lifted his head and he spoke and
Said that he was not a victim, not a victim,
Not a victim, not a victim, not a victim.)

The crowd reacted in shock and horror
Some, still skeptic, wanted to know more and
The cops arrived and handcuffed the felon
And then the coroner jumped with the dead man...
He jumped with the dead man.
He jumped with the dead man.
He jumped with the dead man...
