Sniper in the Sky

(Charles Whitman)

He killed his wife and mother, then packed up his supplies

Like food and guns and ammo, and went out taking lives.

At the school observatory, he went to the top

And killed sixteen people before he could be stopped.

Charles Whitman was the school tower hitman

Charles Whitman shot at people and hit them

Charles Whitman had a brain tumour in his head

Charles Whitman was the cause of eighteen people=B9s deaths.

He kept on shooting people, the police they tried and tried

To kill Charles Whitman, the sniper in the sky.

They finally snuck up on him, surprised him at the top

Then Charles Whitman was gunned down by a cop.

Charles Whitman was the school tower hitman

Charles Whitman shot at people and hit them

Charles Whitman had a brain tumour in his head

Charles Whitman was the cause of eighteen people=B9s deaths.
