Who shot the La La, I don't know
Who shot the La, I say I just don't know
Who shot the La La, I don't know
I know it was a 44
Now listen y'all
Whoever shot it ran out the door
All I knowed it was a 44
But everybody turned and they looked at me
Lord I shook my head, I said a-no, sirree
Now tell me
Who shot the La La, I don't know
Who shot the La, I say I just don't know
Who shot the La La, I don't know
I know it was a 44
They oughta catch that fella, yes and put him in jail
Throw away that key, nobody stand him his bail
If it was me lemme tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the key in the deep blue sea, na na na
Who shot the La La, I don't know
Who shot the La, I say I just don't know
Who shot the La La, I don't know
I know it was a 44, ooh
Ah who shot the La La, I don't know
Who shot the La, I say I just don't know
Who shot the La La, I don't know
I know it was a 44
There only three fellas do a thing like that
High Head, Jo Mouth and my brother John
If I hear anything, I'm gonna let you know
I don't believe in shooting no 44, now now
Who shot the La La, I don't know
Who shot the La, I say I just don't know
Who shot the La La, I don't know
I know it was a 44
Now stop asking me
Who shot the La, I say I just don't know
Who shot the La La, I don't know
I know it was a 44
Now listen y'all
Whoever shot it ran out the door
All I knowed it was a 44
But everybody turned and they looked at me
Lord I shook my head, I said a-no, sirree
Now tell me
