     Zager & Evans, "Fred"
     Album: Exordium & Terminus
In a white enamel room

They pulled him from his mothers womb

Hanging from his heels he cried

And everyone put on their smiles

Ugly, red and drippin wet

They put him in a bassinette

Tiny toes and fingernails

Daddy said he'll go to Yale

Such was the first day for Fred

When he reached the age of nine

He killed a frog with a kitchen knife

He broke the wing of a nobel bird

With a jagged rock his slingshot hurled

When he reached the age of ten,

He stole the neighbor's guinea hen

He wrapped its beak in masking tape

It starved to death in thirteen days

Such was the tenth year for Fred

When Fred was sweet sixteen

He robbed the neighborhood Dairy Queen

He drove away in his Daddy's car

He didn't get far

The local fuzz hauled him away

He went to trial the very next day

Found guilty the sixteenth year for Fred

And his daddy cried.

Oh, Fred, Fred, where'd we go wrong?

We used to buy you things

I thought we got along

Oh Fred, Fred, you're living a life of sin

Tell me Fred, what we gonna tell our friends?

When Fred was twenty-one

He was brought to bear for things to come,

He'd learned to kill, hate and steal

Now Uncle Sam offered Fred a deal

We need good men, like you my boy

To throw grenades and bang young boys

It takes agression and a will of steel

And mainly, we got a quota to fill

And off to fight, went Soldier Fred

When Fred was thirty-two

He was covered with medals all red and blue

He'd killed twelve men in eleven years

Well never once did he shed a tear

Now Fred was a coming home

Discharged with a broken bone

Climbed aboard his plane at nine

And roared off into the clear blue sky

And that's where planes always fly

Fred found a seat in row number two

Sat himself down and loosened his boots

Along came a problem with long short hair

And said "Hey man, you're setting in my chair."

Fred got up and hit the poor man

Forgot about the cast he had on his hand

He killed him dead in one clean blow

It didn't bother Fred too much though.

Such was homecoming for Fred

And his Daddy cried

Oh Fred, Fred, where'd we go wrong?

We used to buy you things

I thought we got along

Oh Fred, Fred, you've done it again

Tell me Fred, what we gonna tell our friends?
