Lyrics
[Verse 1] Last night I saw an accident On the corner of Third and Green Two cars collided and I got excited Just being part of that scene It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter Pamela was driving the car They got hit by a man in a light blue sedan Who had obviously been to a bar [Chorus] And they don't know how lucky they are They could have ran into that tree Got struck by a bolt of lightning And raped by a minority [Verse 2] It was a four-way stop dilemma We all arrived the same time I yielded to the man to the right of me And he yielded it right back to mine Well, the yield went around and around and around Till Pamela finally tried Just then the man in the light blue sedan Hit Pamela's passenger side [Chorus] They don't know how lucky they are They could have ran into that tree Got struck by a bolt of lightning And raped by a minority [Verse 3] Pamela hit her head on the mirror Mrs. Walker got a bump on the knee The man hit himself in the face And said "Why does this happen to me?" Then the neighbors came out and they gathered about Saying, "Hey, who hit who anyway?" And the police arrived at a quarter to five And pronounced all the victims okay [Chorus] But they don't know how lucky they are They could have ran into that tree Got struck by a bolt of lightning And raped by a minority
