Lyrics

Hey, pal, feelin' blue? Don't know what to do? Hey, pal, I mean you! Yeah! Come here and kill a president! No job, cupboard bare? One room, no one there? Hey, pal, don't despair You wanna shoot a president? C'mon and shoot a president Some guys think they can't be winners First prize often goes to rank beginners How much? Four-fifty. Ivor johnson, .32. Rubber handles Owls stamped on the side All right, give me Hey, kid, failed your test? Dream girl unimpressed? Show her you're the best If you can shoot a president You can get the prize with the big blue eyes Skinny little thighs, and those big blue eyes (Mister!) Everybody's got the right to be happy Don't stay mad, life's not as bad as it seems If you keep your goal in sight You can climb to any height Everybody's got the right to their dreams Deal Mister- I said "deal" You, you wait your turn It is my turn I was here first! Watch it now, no violence! Hey, fella, feel like you're a failure? Bailiff on your tail? Your wife run off for good? Hey, fella, feel misunderstood? Come here and kill a president Okay! Oh, what's-a wrong, boy? Boss-a treat you crummy? Trouble with your tummy? This-a bring you some relief Here, give some hail-a to da chief You gimme prize? Anything you want I want prize. You gimme prize! Only eight bucks. Cheap for "anything you want" Everybody's got the right to be different Even though at times they go to extremes Aim for what you want a lot Everybody gets a shot Everybody's got a right to their dreams Yo, baby, looking for a thrill? The Ferris Wheel is that way No, baby, this requires skill- Okay, you want to give it a try Jeez, lady, give a guy some room! The bumper cars are that way Please, lady, don't forget that guns can go boom Hey, gang, look who's here There's our pioneer Hey, chief, loud and clear Everybody's got the right to be happy Say, "enough," it's not as tough as it seems Don't be scared you won't prevail Everybody's free to fail No one can be put in jail for their dreams Free country! Means your dreams can come true Be a scholar Make a dollar Free country! Means they listen to you Scream and holler Grab 'em by the collar! Free country! Means you dont have to sit That's it! And put up with the shit Everybody's got the right to some sunshine, everybody! Not the sun, but maybe one of its beams (One of its beams) Rich man, poor man, black or white Pick your apple, take a bite Everybody just hold tight to your dreams Everybody's got the right to their dreams Ladies and Gentlemen The President of the United States Abraham Lincoln! Excuse me Sic semper tyrannis!
