He never caught a break, he never drove a Caddy
Joined the Marines to learn a skill
And that he did, he learned how to kill
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
JFK went down to Dallas
To cool some heels in the oil palace
Unfriendly country, but he was not afraid
He would wave to the people
>From a passing motorcade
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
JFK told Kruschev I'll leave Castro alone
If you take away those missles
They're too damn close to home
The CIA, the Cubans and the underworld bosses
Decided that was it, they had to cut their losses
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
Lee Harvey O. was made to order
A radical nut, a drifter and a boarder
Earl Warren got a version out fast
America was happy, the patsy had been cast
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
Eleven miles an hour
Harvey O. didn't have no daddy He never caught a break, he never drove a Caddy Joined the Marines to learn a skill And that he did, he learned how to kill At eleven miles an hour Such a deadly speed Eleven miles an hour At the time and place agreed They pulled their limousine Down Elm Street slow and clean Lead fell like a shower At eleven miles an hour JFK went down to Dallas To cool some heels in the oil palace Unfriendly country, but he was not afraid He would wave to the people >From a passing motorcade At eleven miles an hour Such a deadly speed Eleven miles an hour At the time and place agreed They pulled their limousine Down Elm Street slow and clean Lead fell like a shower At eleven miles an hour JFK told Kruschev I'll leave Castro alone If you take away those missles They're too damn close to home The CIA, the Cubans and the underworld bosses Decided that was it, they had to cut their losses At eleven miles an hour Such a deadly speed Eleven miles an hour At the time and place agreed They pulled their limousine Down Elm Street slow and clean Lead fell like a shower At eleven miles an hour Lee Harvey O. was made to order A radical nut, a drifter and a boarder Earl Warren got a version out fast America was happy, the patsy had been cast At eleven miles an hour Such a deadly speed Eleven miles an hour At the time and place agreed They pulled their limousine Down Elm Street slow and clean Lead fell like a shower At eleven miles an hour Eleven miles an hour Explain Request ×
