Oh, What a Night (October, 1981)

I pictured Harry strolling along the beach (perhaps of the Tbay?).  
Feeling retrospective, he looks back on the night his parents were 
murdered and sings...

Oh, what a night
Late October back in eighty-one
What a very nasty thing to've done
As I remember what a night.

Oh, what a night
You know I didn't even know your name
But I was never going to be the same
What a wizard
What a night.

Oh, I got a funny feelin' when he walked in the room
Oh my, as I recall it ended oh so soon

Oh, what a night
Castin' curses, AK-blastin' me
He was evil, killing all 'round me
Sacrifices!
What a night.

I saw a flash, like green lightnin' -- but a blunder
Spinnin' my head around then knockin' me out from under
Oh, what a night!

Oh, what a night!
Oh, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feelin' when he walked in the room
Oh my, as I recall it ended oh so soon

Oh what a night
Why'd it take so long end that night?
What went wrong?
And how am I alright?
I remember
What a night.

I saw a flash, like green lightnin' -- but a blunder
Spinnin' my head around then knockin' me out from under
Oh, what a night!

Oh, what a night!
Oh, what a night.
Oh, what a night.

(music fades as Harry walks off toward the sunset - too sappy?  nah, 
I didn't think so, either ;-)
