[Verse 1]
GLast night I saw an accident
on the Ccorner of Third and GGreen
GTwo cars collided and I got excited
just A7being part of that Dscene
GIt was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter
Pamela, was driving the Ccar
They got hit by a man in a Glight blue sedan
who had Dobviously been to a Gbar
[Chorus]
CThey don't know how lucky they Gare
CThey could have run into that Dtree
Got Gstruck by a bolt of Clightning
and Graped by a DminoriGty
[Verse 2]
GIt was a four way stop dilemma
We Call arrived the same Gtime
I Gyielded to the man to the right of me
and he A7yielded it right back to Dmine
GWell the yield went around and around and around
till Pamela finally Ctried
Just then the man in the Glight blue sedan
hit DPamela's passenger Gside
[Chorus]
CThey don't know how lucky they Gare
CThey could have run into that Dtree
Got Gstruck by a bolt of Clightning
and Graped by a DminoriGty
[Verse 3]
GPamela hit her head on the mirror
Mrs CWalker got a bump on the Gknee
GThe man hit himself in the face and said
A7Why does this happen to Dme?
GThe neighbors came out
Gand they gathered about
Gsaying Hey! who hit who aCnyway?
And the police arrived at a Gquarter to five
and pronounced Dall the victims Gokay
[Chorus]
CThey don't know how lucky they Gare
CThey could have run into that Dtree
Got Gstruck by a bolt of Clightning
and Graped by a DminoriGty
