Who Shot J.R.? Lyrics

With Band McNally

Why do the people all hate him so

Why they shot him, I'll never know

He's the star of the picture show, J.R.

Besides, he's just trying to get ahead

And, oh, Lord, please tell me

He can't be dead, J.R., not my hero

Like a Texas rattler, he would coil

Molested the women

And stole the cocktail oil

But with two quick shots

He got foiled, J.R.

Stop picking on that man

In the Stetson hat

He's just trying to run a business

Now, what's wrong with that, J.R.

Now, Jock and Miss Elly

They both come to mind

J.R.'s their own son

But they ain't blind

Sue Ellen coulda shot him

That's obvious and all

But she's been drinking again

And she couldn't hit a wall

Bobby and Pam

They have reasons, for sure

But I think both of them

Would just be too pure

That Friday night

He was working late

The night the old boy

Was to meet his fate

There was a lotta hate

In that.38 for J.R.

Some goody two shoes

Done blowed him away

Well, we'll see what them

Hollywood writers have to say

For J.R. (sweet J.R.)

But you can't be sure of his demise

Who knows where the real truth lies

One thing's for sure, we all

Love to despise J.R. (J.R.)

Good old J.R.

Now let's deduce this thing here

Cliff Barnes

He promised to do J.R. in

And so did Vaughn Leland

His banker and ex-friend

Little Lucy's no angel

Like you'd think she'd be

And Alan Beam, he seems

Pretty darn suspicious to me

I wonder if it's Ray

But does he have a reason

We won't know that til

Sometime next season

But if it's a case of jaded love

Kristin coulda done it

That poor soiled dove

She coulda shot J.R. (J.R.)

Now I'll tell you who did it

I know exactly who did it

It was little John, you see

He was a midget and he crawled up

The stairs of that office building

(Don't be silly) it were him

My fellow Americans

I would like to tell you

Who I think it was

I think it Ronald Reagan

Or John Anderson or

John Anderson or Ronald Reagan

Indecision, indecision

No, man, it was Howard Cosell

Cause he was the most hated man

On TV til J.R. came along

It had to be Howard Cosell

Oh, no, my friends, listen to me

I'll tell you who shot J.R.

Woo, hallelujah, it was

Satan or Fred Silverman

I can't wait til September

I gotta know now

Who shot J.R

Was it you, was it you

I know it was somebody

That shot that man
