"Big D's For Danger"
(from"Rough Cuts")
The big D's for danger--- gotta say
To the 'D' we added anger, and now we gotta pay
For the Mustang scandal,
The dry wall, and the Super Bowl Parade
Came here from Panther City----30 miles from here.
Felt pretty safe, but now I live in fear.
That's cause I moved to Dallas
Where they hit you from the rear.
Big D stands for goodness - hey, hey, hey
The town is red hot,
But not in the best of ways
It made movie stars of Ruby, of Oswald and JFK
The town has gone ballastic---and beastly in the night.
Better bolt the doors and lock the house up tight.
Otherwise a homeless guy could break in
And try to pick a fight.
Well, Dealy Plaza's peaceful--hey, hey, hey.
We didn't whack the President,
No matter what the snowbirds say.
Try Castro, Hoffa, or check with the CIA.
Well, if your wife goes shopping,
She shouldn't bring a purse.
Hire yourself a driver, Though your friends will give you funny looks at first---
But riding in a limousine is cheaper than riding in a hearse.
I hope you're not offended----or think I went too far.
'Cause I don't have a pistol,
That I bought just to bring into a bar.
And I'm not roostered on the G.B.T.--- driving a stolen car.
