Lethal Dose
(Sung to the tune of "Gallows Pole" by Led Zeppelin)
Guest song parody by Skisics Surus, skisics@yahoo.com
ov'ner, Gov'ner, hold it a little while,
I think I see my lawyers coming, covering many a mile.
Lawyers, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did my family give you to keep me from the lethal dose?
What did you do to keep me from the lethal dose?
We didn't get no silver, we didn't get no gold
You know you're too damn poor to keep you from the lethal dose!

Gov'ner, Gov'ner, I'm not to blame.
I think I see a witness comin' who can clear my name.
Witness, did you clear me?
Did they believe you?
What did the pardon's board do to save me from the lethal dose?
Man, I told my story
I said you're innocent
I told the gov'ners' men everything to keep you from the lethal dose.
I told them everything to keep you from the lethal dose.

Gov'ner, Gov'ner, this is the best
Just wait a while, for my DNA test
Judge, I implore you, take my blood for a test
Take my blood and check it again
The evidence will show you I'm not guilty
Please take it, I'm really an innocent man.

Gov'ner, Gov'ner, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride, ride for many a mile.
Yes we did your test
See it's just no good
We're don't see anything to keep you from the lethal dose.
Yes you brought a witness
See it just did no good
But now I laugh and joke so hard and see you take a lethal dose.
See you take a lethal dose.
See you take a lethal dose.
