Who killed John Lennon?
I, said Mark Chapman,
With my right to bear arms,
I killed John Lennon
Who killed John Lennon?
I, said Mark Chapman,
With my right to bear arms,
I killed John Lennon.
Who saw John die?
I, said Yoko,
With my little eye,
I saw him die.
Who caught his blood?
I, said New York,
With my stone melting pot,
I caught his blood.
Who'll make the shroud?
I, said the Beetle,
With some old songs,
I'll make the shroud.
Who'll dig his grave?
I, said the Queen,
With a sword of knighthood,
I'll dig his grave.
Who'll be the parson?
I, said Jude,
Without a Bible,
I'll be the parson.
Who will then attend?
I, said the fool,
Coming down from my hill,
I will then attend.

All men possess penises.
Something they should remember for life,
they forget the next day. Flick one switch and beautiful music
comes drifting in from beyond death,
and in that direction men
twist themselves up again and again.
"Even when cut off from all hope,
we can't learn to live without hope." Seeing a grain of rice on the floor
sprouting in some distant mud is what men dread. So to pass their times of torment
they read of worse torment in their tales.
All men possess penises.

■英語原詩 The original song in English
Who killed Cock Robin?
I, said the Sparrow, with my bow and arrow,
I killed Cock Robin.
Who saw him die?
I, said the Fly, with my little eye,
I saw him die.

All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing, when they heard the bell toll for poor Cock Robin.
