Lizzie Borden took an ax, Gave her mother 40 whacks. After she'd seen what she had done, She gave her father 41. Yesterday in old Fall River, Mr. Andrew Borden died, And they got his daughter Lizzie, on a charge of homicide. Some folks say she didn't do it, and others say of course she did, But they all agree Miss Lizzie B, was a problem type of kid.

It wasn't Lizzie's fault. It was that evil axe. If we had proper axe control laws we could have made the world safe for the children. Damn those axes and the NAA (National Axe Association) Neanderthals.
It most certainly wasn't a chipped, micro stamped, or registered axe, and it was most likely a fully automatic assault axe as well! "Weapons of war have no place on our streets!"
OMG..... Next you'll be prattlin', that it would ne'er have happened, if Lizzie's Dad, and Lizzie's mum, were both wieldin' a loaded gun!
Well....it's true ain't it? the song would have gone "Lizzy Bordon took an ax, and Blammm! (Knife to a gun battle syndrome)
