1
Last night I saw an accident
2
on the corner of Third and Green
3
two cars collided and I got excited
4
just being part of that scene
5
It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter
6
Pamela, was driving the car
7
they got hit by a man in a lite blue sedan
8
who had obviously been to a bar.

Chorus:

12

It was a four way stop dilemma
15
we all arrived the same time
16
I yielded to the man to the right of me
17
and he yielded it right back to mine
18
well, the yield went around and around and around
19
till Pamela finally tried
20
just then the man in the light blue sedan
21
hit Pamela's passenger side.
22
Chorus:
23
Pamela hit her head on the mirror
24
Mrs Walker got a bump on the knee
25
the man hit himself in the face and said
26
"Why does this happen to me?"
27
the neighbors came out
28

29
saying "Hey! who hit who anyway?"
30
and the police arrived at a quarter to five
31
and pronounced all the victims "Okay".
