It was ten years ago tonight
That life of glory cried
And i called up the radio
Asked them to play bonzo then i fell to pieces

I wasn't alive
When Kennedy died so i cannot say what i was that day
But to me, more importantly, when i read the news
Of what the world would lose

Read it in the New York Times
Where were you my little porcupine?
The night that Joey died
Where were you my little porcupine?

Sittin in my room, spinnin records in your memory
What was i to do?
Judy got the best of me

Sittin in my room, spinnin records in your memory
What was i to do?
Sheena got the best of me
My little porcupine
