G
Last night I saw an accident
C G
on the corner of Third and Green
G
two cars collided and I got excited
A7 D
just being part of that scene
G
It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter
C
Pamela, was driving the car
G
they got hit by a man in a lite blue sedan
D G
who had obviously been to a bar.
Chorus:
C G
They don't know how lucky they are
C D
they could have run into that tree
G C
got struck by a bolt of lightning
G D G
and raped by a minority.
G
It was a four way stop dilemma
C G
we all arrived the same time
G
I yielded to the man to the right of me
A7 D
and he yielded it right back to mine
G
well the yield went around and around and around
C
till Pamela finally tried
G
just then the man in the light blue sedan
D G
hit Pamela's passenger side.
(Repeat Chorus)
G
Pamela hit her head on the mirror
C G
Mrs Walker got a bump on the knee
G
the man hit himself in the face and said
A7 D
Why does this happen to me?
G
the neighbors came out
G
and they gathered about
G C
saying Hey! who hit who anyway?
G
and the police arrived at a quarter to five
D G
and pronounced all the victims Okay
(Repeat Chorus)
