I shot the possum

Jasper Murtagh

I shot the possum, but I did not shoot his majesty.
I shot the possum, but I did not shoot his majesty.
All around in my kingdom
They're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me golden slawer
For the killing of his majesty,
For the life of his majesty.
But I say:
I shot the possum, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the possum, and they say it is a silly offense.
Possum John Brown always hated me;
For what I don't know.
Every time that I had KFC
He ate it before I could.
He ate it before I could.
I say:
I shot the possum, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the possum, and they say it is a silly offense.
The munchies came my way one day
And I started to the fridge.
All of a sudden I see possum John Brown
Eating my KFC.
So I shot, I shot him down.
I say:
I shot the possum, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the possum, and they say it is a silly offense.
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes well with friends,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:
I shot the possum, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the possum, and they say it is a silly offense.
