Way out in Chicago There lived a guy Named M-R James Why did you die? Oh, please, Mr. James Oh, tell me why Did you have to go? You sent the clues And touched my heart Why, why Did we have to part? Oh, please, Mr. James Yeah, tell me why Did you have to go? Right there now, tell me, John Well, now Well, Mr. James You sent the clues And I'd like to follow Yet in your shoes So, please, Mr. James Yeah, tell me why Did you have to go?
