Booth shot Lincoln
4/14/1865
(Lincoln died the next day)
Now I could be a tenor
And easily hit high C
But I heard one on the radio
And that was enough for me.
Whenever I think of Lincoln
I never can forgive
The guy that would murder a man like him
And let these tenors live.

"But apart from all that, Mrs Lincoln -- what did you think of the play?"
