John Wilkes Booth (Don't Make Us Beg)

John Wilkes Booth has let me down for the last time
God help us if we can't pull this rotten tooth
Well, I don't care it the Civil War starts over
I'm through waiting for John Wilkes Booth

We need a man like John Brown down in Harper's Ferry
Dreams jumping out of his head, you can watch 'em burn
Just a wild-eyed lunatic from Kansas
Somebody to teach 'em a lesson that's gonna stay learned

(Where, where is John Wilkes Booth)
Where is John Wilkes Booth when we need him?
(Where, where is John Wilkes Booth)
To drop a match in this powder keg?
That son of a bitch is up there in the balcony all alone
John Wilkes Booth don't make us beg

Well, they're dumping gasoline in the backyard
Man I seen 'em well they're
Draggin' Herbert Hoover out of that hole
And they're soaping over the windows in the Whitehouse
And they're sinking all their money into coal

So tell me
(Where, where is Lee Harvey Oswald)
Where is Lee Harvey Oswald
(When, when we're shaking and afraid)
When we're shaking and afraid?
We need is a shadow in every window along the parade route
To make 'em wish that they'd never joined that motorcade

(Where, where is John Wilkes Booth)
Where is John Wilkes Booth when we need him?
(Where, where is John Wilkes Booth)
C'mon man and shake that broken leg
That son of a bitch is up there in the balcony
Man I can see 'em
Well there
John Wilkes Booth don't make us beg
John Wilkes Booth don't make us beg
John Wilkes Booth don't make us beg
