Lyrics
Who killed Norma Jean?
“I”, said the city,
“As a civic duty,
I killed Norma Jean”.

Who saw her die?
“I”, said the Night,
“And a bedroom light
We saw her die”.

Who’ll catch her blood?
“I”, said the Fan,
“With my little pan,
I’ll catch her blood”.

Who’ll make her shroud?
“I”, said the Lover,
“My guilt to cover,
I’ll make her shroud”.

Who’ll dig her grave?
The tourist will come
And join in the fun,
He’ll dig her grave.

Who’ll be chief mourners?
We who represent
And lose our ten percent.
We’ll be the chief mourners.

Who’ll bear the pall?
“We”, said the Press,
“In pain and distress,
We’ll bear the pall”.

Who’ll toll the bell?
“I”, screamed the mother,
Locked in her tower,
“I’ll pull the bell”.


Who’ll soon forget?
“I”, said the Page
Beginning to fade,
“I’ll be first to forget”.
