Dan Bern - Krautmeyer lyrics

Charles Manson doesn't even know his last name anymore Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer He's forgotten it Charles Manson had a buncha people Who believed his every word Who followed his directions To cut up buncha rich people Would they still have done it If they'd known his name was Krautmeyer I kinda doubt it Charles Manson made a sh**ty album Not too long before he got a buncha people To believe his every word And follow his directions To cut up buncha rich people Would they still have done it If they'd heard his sh**ty album I kinda doubt it Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh Marilyn Manson took the last name of Charlie Manson He didn't take the name Marilyn Krautmeyer If he was called Marilyn Krautmeyer I bet no adults with large straws up their a**es Would try to cancel any of his concerts The way they do with Marilyn Manson I think he should be called Marilyn Krautmeyer He'd probably get to play a few more concerts And maybe he wouldn't sell quite as many of his sh**ty albums But at least the truth would be out that Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh Charles Manson really was a lucky guy People didn't hear his sh**ty album People didn't know his name was Krautmeyer His followers never saw him pick his nose Which I understand he liked to do a lot Charles Manson comes up for parole every now and then Three guys sit across from him And talk to him for half and hour Then stamp denied on his papers Then run home and tell their wives about it Maybe he should go back to Krautmeyer Maybe they'd ignore the swastika on his forehead And stamp approved on his papers We hereby parole you, Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Charles Manson's real name was Charles Krautmeyer Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
