G
Last night I saw an accident

       C                   G
on the corner of Third and Green

G
Two cars collided and I got excited

     A7                 D
just being part of that scene

G
It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter

                        C
Pamela, was driving the car

                           G
They got hit by a man in a light blue sedan

        D                   G
who had obviously been to a bar
[Chorus]
C                              G
They don't know how lucky they are

C                             D
They could have run into that tree

    G                   C
Got struck by a bolt of lightning

    G          D     G
and raped by a minority
[Verse 2]
G
It was a four way stop dilemma

   C                    G
We all arrived the same time

  G
I yielded to the man to the right of me

       A7                       D
and he yielded it right back to mine

G
Well the yield went around and around and around

                    C
till Pamela finally tried

                         G
Just then the man in the light blue sedan

    D                  G
hit Pamela's passenger side
[Chorus]
C                              G
They don't know how lucky they are

C                             D
They could have run into that tree

    G                   C
Got struck by a bolt of lightning

    G          D     G
and raped by a minority
[Verse 3]
G
Pamela hit her head on the mirror

    C                        G
Mrs Walker got a bump on the knee

G
The man hit himself in the face and said

A7                      D
Why does this happen to me?

G
The neighbors came out

G
and they gathered about

G                        C
saying Hey! who hit who anyway?

                            G
And the police arrived at a quarter to five

               D               G
and pronounced all the victims okay
[Chorus]
C                              G
They don't know how lucky they are

C                             D
They could have run into that tree

    G                   C
Got struck by a bolt of lightning

    G          D     G
and raped by a minority
