THE EIGHTH OF DECEMBER (THE DEATH OF JOHN LENNON)


It was the eighth of December.
This is what I remember.
This is what they said:
John Lennon had been shot.
John Lennon was dead.

It could have been George C Scott.
It could have been anyone.
But a psycho with a gun
had snuffed out the sun.

Yoko took to her bed.
John Lennon was dead.

It was the eighth of December
That is what they said.
This is what I remember:
John Lennon had been shot.
John Lennon was dead.
