Billy, Bobby, Shelly and Sue They were messing with the voodoo I pleaded with them You better leave this thing alone But they all laughed at me And they said 'you go home' Hey dad, why did my friends explode? I'll never forget that terrible day A great big explosion blew them away I took one look it made me gag The coroner left them in a shopping bag Hey dad, why did my friends explode? I'll never forget the terrible day The devil came, he took Jimmy away Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy Hey dad, why did my friends explode?
