Lee 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
