lyrics

Early on September 6
In Buffalo the crowd was thick
Lined up to meet the President,
Our villain Leon wore his sunday best:
He wanted to look good for his arrest

Security was pretty strict, but Leon Czolgoz was nondescript
They screwed up and let him slip by
A psychopathic anarchist with a hidden handgun in a handkerchief

And they go single file into the Temple of Music
Single file into the Temple of Music

They call it “the McKinley Grip”
The special way that he takes your mitt
Held tightly so you can’t squeeze him
Keep moving ‘em down the line quick
Up to fifty every minute

With a pistol in a bandaged hand,
Leon leaned in and took his chance...
Two to the abdomen
It was the second one that did him in

Shots fired in the Temple of Music!
Shots fired in the Temple of Music!
