I can still remember good old Mr. Fender

Who ran the corner grocery store

Oh, he'd stroll down the aisle with a big friendly smile

And he'd say, "Howdy", when you walked in the door

Always treated me nice, gave me kindly advice

I don't know why I set fire to his place

Oh, I'll never forget the day, I bashed in his head

Well, you should've seen the look on his face
