It happened in California,
On a hot August night, screams were shrill,
When they stabbed Sharon Tate, and four others,
It was Charlie Manson On A Kill

The scene they had left was so gruesome,
Wrote 'Pig' on that house on the hill
The next night they stabbed LaBianca's
It was Charlie Manson On A Kill

Word spread through Benedict Canyon
Of cults that would murder for thrill
Some bought guns and hired protection
Fear of Charlie Manson On A Kill

On walls they smeared 'Helter Skelter'
Fam'ly members arrested and grilled
All found guilty and justly convicted
'Twas for Charlie Manson they had killed

In prison they placed Charlie Manson
Where, to this very day, he is still
With shaved head and an X on his forehead
No more Charlie Manson On A Kill
