Songwriter: Kirwan, Laurence T
It's Saturday night
on the Lower East Side
I'm sittin' here
contemplatin' suicide
I just got mugged
down in Tompkins Square
When a skinny-a**ed junkie
stuck a bayonet in my ear
I can't believe you've gone
and left me for a dentist
Whatever happened
to my existentialist
If I can't find out
I never will recover
I gotta know
who killed Bobby Fuller?
I know that you think
that I'm out of my head
'Cause I haven't been givin' you
the love that I should
I just sit here playin'
his old 45's
Wishing to hell
that Bobby was alive
He's still out there singin'
"I fought the law"
But no one is sayin'
exactly what they saw
If I can't find out
I never will recover
I gotta know
who killed Bobby Fuller?
And now you've gone
and found another significant other
I hope your teeth fall out
whenever he kisses you
And you'll come crawlin' back
when you discover
That I found out
who killed Bobby Fuller!
I know it's an obsession
but what can I do
Oh darlin',
I'm still so in love with you
There's a seorita
down in El Paso
And I know that
she's got some of the answers
She's older now
and she's ready to speak
So tell your dentist
to cap someone else's teeth
If we can't be friends
we can at least be lovers
I gotta know
who killed Bobby Fuller?
She's older now
and she's ready to speak
So tell your dentist
to cap someone else's teeth
If we can't be friends
we can at least be lovers
I gotta know
who killed Bobby Fuller?
who killed Bobby Fuller?
who killed Bobby Fuller?
I fought the law
I fought the law
I fought the law
