Lyrics

Way out in Chicago
There lived a guy
Named M-R James
Why did you die?
Oh, please, Mr. James
Oh, tell me why
Did you have to go?
You sent the clues
And touched my heart
Why, why
Did we have to part?
Oh, please, Mr. James
Yeah, tell me why
Did you have to go?
Right there now, tell me, John
Well, now
Well, Mr. James
You sent the clues
And I'd like to follow
Yet in your shoes
So, please, Mr. James
Yeah, tell me why
Did you have to go?
