Not John - Loudon Wainwright III
The limousine was waiting
Outside the studio
In stepped poor john Lennon
And his wife Yoko
Oh no Not John
On up 44th Street
Left at 8th avenue
Up to the Dakota
A man waits there for you
Oh no Yes John
The man's name is Chap-man
Comes from Honolulu
He really loved your music John
Got a Japanese wife to
Oh no poor Sean
Five bullets in your body
That's what the experts say
They say you signed an autograph
For him on that very day
Oh no not John
There was a vigil at the Roosevelt
At the Dakota too
Silence in Central Park
They had a riot in Liverpool
Now Chap-man is in the jailhouse
What's he doing there
He went and he shot John Lennon
All you heroes best be aware
Oh no not John
The limousine was waiting
Outside the studio
In stepped poor john Lennon
And his wife Yoko
Oh no not John
